Qualcomm introduced the third generation of the Wi-Fi 7 Networking Pro platform: up to 33 Gb / s

Qualcomm announced the release of the Wi-Fi 7 Networking Pro platform, which includes a series of Wi-Fi chips for enterprise access points, high-end consumer routers and mesh systems. They offer quad-band connectivity with up to 16 streams and a maximum throughput of 33Gbps. In addition, four new platforms in the series support wider 320MHz channels on the 2.4GHz, 5Hz, and 6GHz bands, and provide a more stable connection with minimal interference.

Even though Wi-Fi 6/6E is not that long ago, companies are already pushing for the next generation standard dubbed IEEE 802.11be. First of all, it will bring support for multi-channel operation (MLO), which combines multiple channels at different frequencies to improve performance. In practical terms, this means that the router will use all available bands and channels to minimize interference and achieve a fast connection. An Adaptive Interface Puncturing (AIP) feature is also expected, which discards overly congested spectrum slots.

All these technologies will provide even higher and more stable Internet speeds in crowded places, such as stadiums. Qualcomm is just paving the way for the next Wi-Fi standard, which is expected to be certified in 2024. Its mass introduction will not begin soon, as well as the appearance of the first devices with Wi-Fi 7 support.
