1332: How Qualcomm Is Leading The Way With Wi-Fi 6E - a podcast by Neil C. Hughes

Qualcomm is a wireless technology innovator and the driving force behind the development, launch, and expansion of 5G. When we connected the phone to the internet, the mobile revolution was born. Today, their foundational technologies enable the mobile ecosystem and are found in all 3G, 4G, and 5G smartphones.

They bring the benefits of mobile to new industries, including automotive, the internet of things, and computing, leading the way to a world where everything and everyone can communicate and interact seamlessly. But there is much more the company than 5G and mobile connectivity.

With networks pressured more than ever by simultaneous work and school-from-home, surging on-demand video streaming, and latency-sensitive real-time gaming, the newly opened 6 GHz spectrum is the solution to meet the moment.

The latest platforms introduce Qualcomm® Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6, offering simultaneous operation in 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequency bands. Setting a new industry benchmark for scalability and performance, the Qualcomm Networking Pro Series Platforms are the first to offer support for up to 2,000 simultaneous users while designed to deliver full network capacity in an unprecedented 16-stream Wi-Fi 6E configuration.

Choosing from four scalable Wi-Fi 6E offerings, manufacturers can develop products with applications ranging from home Wi-Fi mesh systems to enterprise access points targeting business, large-venue, and campus networks.

"The newly opened 6 GHz spectrum and the advent of Wi-Fi 6E are important industry milestones that promise to usher in a new wave of Wi-Fi innovation that will bring exceptional wireless experiences to life.”

“We see this announcement from Qualcomm Technologies as a positive step forward in what’s possible for networking across the industry,” said David Henry, senior vice president of Connected Home Products and Services for NETGEAR.

Rahul Patel senior vice president and general manager of the Connectivity & Networking Business Unit for Qualcomm Technologies Inc talks about all this and the new Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G Mobile Platform.
