Qualcomm launches Wi-Fi 7 immersive home networking platform: total peak system capacity exceeds 20Gbps
Qualcomm today announced its latest high-performance home networking solution, the Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Networking Platform.
With a compact, energy-efficient and cost-effective silicon architecture, the Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Networking Platform delivers more than 20 Gbps of total system capacity to support the latest high-speed broadband connectivity and the growing popularity of many high-performance devices for today's ultra-connected homes. The platform introduces Qualcomm Multi-Link Mesh technology, bringing a new breakthrough in home networking connectivity and ushering in a new era of extreme throughput and real-time responsiveness.
Our cost effective and compact Qualcomm Immersive Home Networking platform brings the latest innovations in home networking to enable high performance network connectivity," said Nick Kucharewski, senior vice president and general manager of the Wireless Infrastructure and Networking business at Qualcomm Technologies. With the tri-band system, users will be able to fully experience the powerful new features that Wi-Fi 7 brings. In this way, Wi-Fi mesh networks will bring performance improvements to both new and traditional devices."
The new Qualcomm Immersive Home Networking platform is built for collaboration, telepresence, AR/VR and immersive gaming applications in today's and tomorrow's homes. The Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Networking Platform uses Qualcomm's multi-connected mesh networking technology to bring gigabits of network coverage and low latency to the latest applications, bringing immediate performance benefits to both legacy and the latest Wi-Fi 7 connected devices.
The newest Immersive Home Networking platform shares a common architecture with the mass-produced Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Professional Networking Platform, which is currently in prototype and expected to be commercially available in the second half of 2023.
Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 immersive home networking platform features the following:
Qualcomm Multi-Connect Mesh Network Technology: Qualcomm Multi-Connect Mesh Network Technology redefines the home networking experience by dynamically managing new modes of wireless connectivity from client to mesh backhaul. Qualcomm Multi-Connect Mesh Network technology selects, aggregates or alternates links in 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz license-free spectrum based on network conditions, device capabilities and home network topology, enabling deterministic low latency in congested network environments and delivering a 75 percent reduction in real-time latency to help achieve a virtually lag-free gaming experience.
Wi-Fi 7 technology: Qualcomm's immersive home networking platform delivers the ultimate in performance, enabling gigabits of coverage more than ever before, with key features including: Extended 5GHz spectrum performance, delivering an 80 percent throughput boost over Wi-Fi 6 with a 240MHz channel and 4K QAM modulation technology.
Maximised utilization of 6GHz spectrum performance, delivering a 140% throughput boost over Wi-Fi 6E with 320MHz channels and 4K QAM modulation. Full support for Qualcomm Auto Frequency Control technology for gigabit network coverage throughout the house Qualcomm Auto Frequency Control technology is currently available for user device integration and will be commercially available upon regulatory approval.
Support for Wi-Fi 7 multi-connectivity and adaptive interference punching technology brings operational optimisation even in congested home network environments. Intelligent congestion avoidance algorithms ensure excellent performance even in the presence of potential interference from neighboring networks or other endpoints.
Maximized connectivity support for the latest high-performance endpoints, with peak speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps achievable from a single connected endpoint.
High-performance platform innovation: Qualcomm's immersive home networking platform solutions are based on a modular and scalable design architecture with a cost-effective and compact form factor to enable high-performance home networking connectivity and accelerate time-to-market. Key features include：
Platform designs optimized for size, power efficiency and cost effectiveness, including fully integrated RF front-end modules (FEMs) using advanced process technologies and optimized for performance.
Highly differentiated configurations built for customer designs. Triple-band Wi-Fi 7 configuration delivers peak wireless capacity in the 10 Gbps to 20 Gbps range, nearly twice the capacity of comparable Wi-Fi 6 systems. The platform is ideally suited for whole-home networking solutions using mesh networking systems, while supporting requirements such as a larger number of users, higher speed connectivity or wider coverage.
