Qualcomm announces its new Mesh Wi-Fi 7
East new hardware from Qualcomm It can be used in Mesh systems and promises really interesting improvements. They estimate that they will be able to offer 140% more bandwidth on 6 GHz compared to Wi-Fi 6E. It will also improve performance when using the 5 GHz band.
From Qualcomm they promise to achieve speeds between 10 and 20 Gbps wirelessly thanks to its technology that takes advantage of Wi-Fi 7. Without a doubt, we are facing incredible speeds for home connections. Of course, it will be necessary to see in real life, in normal use, if those speeds are really reached or, at least, it stays close. It must be taken into account that factors such as distance, walls, possible obstacles, etc. come into play.
Qualcomm has introduced various designs: Immersive Home 316 Platform, 318 Platform, 326 Platform and 3210 Platform. It should be mentioned that this company is not going to manufacture its own home routers or Mesh systems, but rather provides its technology to other brands with which they collaborate.
However, there is still time until we can enjoy this technology and these mentioned speeds. It is expected that by 2024 devices certified with Wi-Fi 7 begin to arrive. From there, as has happened with the latest versions of Wi-Fi, little by little models will be released on the market.
Increased need for speed and coverage
If we think about the internet speed that we had a few years ago and the one we have now, the difference is more than significant. Now we need a better connection and we will need it to be even better in the coming years. Therefore, we have a greater need for speed and coverage in our homes.
This is so as we have more and more devices. Think of all household appliances that you connect to the router via Wi-Fi. Not only computers and mobile phones, but also televisions, smart light bulbs and many other household appliances. But in a few years there will be many more that you will have to connect.
All this makes it necessary have good coverage in different corners of the house. In addition, it is important to have a good bandwidth to play streaming videos in maximum quality, use the cloud, etc. Wi-Fi 7 technology is going to bring a significant improvement.
In short, Qualcomm has presented an important advance of what the home Internet can be in the coming years. It promises speeds much higher than the current ones when connecting wirelessly thanks to Wi-Fi 7 technology. You will be able to have Mesh systems and home routers that will provide greater coverage and better speed in your home so that you can connect devices of all kinds .
