Today, Qualcomm announced its Wi-Fi 7 capable Qualcomm Networking Pro Series Gen 3 family of platforms. The Qualcomm Networking Pro Series, Gen3 is the world’s highest performance Wi-Fi 7 network infrastructure platform portfolio commercially available.
Wi-Fi 7 doubles the maximum channel width (up to 320 MHz) and introduces superior modulation with 4k QAM, but most importantly, according to Andy Davidson, Senior Director of Technology Planning at Qualcomm, the key factor is its ability to manage and optimize the various spectrum bands available. The features it refers to are the multi-link function and the “Preamble puncturing”.
Highlights:
- Qualcomm Technologies is currently sampling the world’s most scalable Wi-Fi 7 networking platform portfolio commercially available, with offerings ranging from 6 to 16 streams, for next-generation enterprise access points, high performance routers, and carrier gateways
- Third-generation Qualcomm® Networking Pro Series platforms bring key Wi-Fi 7 features like 320MHz channel support establishing new performance benchmarks in wireless networking of up to 33 Gbps wireless interface capacity and peak throughputs over 10 Gbps.
- These Qualcomm Networking Pro Series platforms continue the legacy of innovative, custom architectural design optimized for multi-user environments, to power the collaboration, telepresence, XR, metaverse, and immersive gaming applications of today and tomorrow’s home and enterprise environments.
- Qualcomm Networking Pro Series platforms are supported by Qualcomm Technologies’ turnkey service for Automated Frequency Control (AFC) to enable the highest performance possible in the 6GHz spectrum band.
The multi-link feature, High Band Simultaneous Multi-Link, allows devices to use simultaneous (or alternating) spectrum across multiple links. The device uses each band as soon as it becomes available and can operate on both at the same time, aggregatingthroughput on both, avoiding congestion to reduce latency. This way it can not only aggregate channels of different bands, such as 5 GHz and 6 GHz, but can also set multiple device links within the same band.
