Qualcomm unveiled its Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Platform designed and optimised to satisfy dwelling mesh Wi-Fi networking techniques on Tuesday. The platform consists of two new processors that utilise 5GHz and 6GHz frequency bands whereas supporting 240MHz and 320MHz channels, respectively. These specs translate into the spectrum that’s utilised by Wi-Fi 7-enabled units. The Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 techniques can present speeds of as much as 5.8GBps, claims the corporate. The know-how is paired with a Multi-Link Mesh characteristic that may permit for dynamic switching between out there spectrums and channels.
According to an official weblog put up from Qualcomm asserting the Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Platforms, the know-how is constructed primarily based on modular chipset structure which delivers over 20GBps of complete system capability.
The firm claims that the processor know-how has been engineered to allow collaboration, telepresence, AR/VR, and immersive gaming of “today’s and tomorrow’s homes”. The know-how is at the moment been sampled whereas industrial gross sales are anticipated to start within the second half of 2023.
“We developed the Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform to enable high-performance connectivity in a cost-effective, low-profile form factor delivering the newest innovations in home networking,” mentioned Nick Kucharewski, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Infrastructure and Networking at Qualcomm Technologies.
Qualcomm’s Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home Platform features a proprietary Multi-Link Mesh system that selects, aggregates or alternates hyperlinks within the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz unlicensed spectrum bands primarily based on community circumstances, machine capabilities and residential community topology. The firm claims that the platform can present a 75 p.c discount in real-time latency in congested environments as in comparison with Wi-Fi 6.
The system leverages a Wi-Fi 7 know-how that ranges within the 5 GHz spectrum, with 240 MHz channels and 4K QAM modulation, which the corporate claims assist ship 80 p.c larger capability in comparison with Wi-Fi 6. As beforehand talked about, the platform is claimed to supply 5.8GBps of peak pace to a single related machine.
