Qualcomm Introduces Third-Generation Networking Pro Design Based on Wi-Fi 7 Platform

Following the announcement at MWC 2022 this year of the FastConnect 7800 wireless network chip built with the Wi-Fi 7 connection specification, Qualcomm earlier announced the launch of a scalable commercial Wi-Fi 7 professional network solution, which is also the third-generation design of Qualcomm since the launch of the first-generation Networking Pro platform in August 2019.

This time, the third-generation Networking Pro platform design based on the Wi-Fi 7 standard is launched, which includes the 1620, 1220, 820, and 620 series. Among them, Qualcomm Networking Pro 1620 provides up to 4-band, 16-channel, 33.1 Gbps peak transmission bandwidth, Qualcomm Networking Pro 1220 provides up to 3-band, 12-channel, 21.6 Gbps peak transmission bandwidth, Qualcomm Networking Pro 820 provides up to 4-band, 8-channel, 13.7 Gbps peak transmission bandwidth, and Qualcomm Networking Pro 620 provides up to 3-band, 6-channel, 10.8 Gbps peak transmission bandwidth.

The Qualcomm Networking Pro 1620 mainly corresponds to the Internet access needs of large enterprises and large residential areas, Qualcomm Networking Pro 1220 and 820 target many enterprises, heavy users, and the Internet access needs of large residential areas. In addition to being used in general enterprises and home environments, the Qualcomm Networking Pro 620 is also designed for gamers.


Compared with the previous design of Wi-Fi 3, Wi-Fi 7 can increase the corresponding frequency band by about 100 times. At the same time, the wireless communication channel has also been increased from the early single frequency to the 4-band design, the effective bandwidth has been increased to 320MHz, and the wireless transmission capacity has also been expanded to 33 Gbps. Therefore, it can not only greatly improve the transmission efficiency of enterprise and home network connection, but also accelerate the promotion of 8K or higher quality multimedia content, or more realistic virtual vision, as well as a more real-time online interactive experience.

Addition, in addition to making good use of the 5GHz and 6GHz transmission frequency bands, Qualcomm can also use automatic frequency control technology, which is expected to control the network transmission throughput more efficiently.
At present, Qualcomm’s third-generation Networking Pro platform design has begun to provide sample designs to partners. It is expected to launch practical products in the second half of this year and can be equipped with the FastConnect 7800 wireless network chip, allowing devices to connect to various content through a faster wireless network.
