home networking,” said Nick Kucharewski, senior vice president and general manager for wireless infrastructure and networking for Qualcomm. “Wi-Fi 7 brings powerful new capabilities which are best experienced using a tri-band system. Through this approach, Wi-Fi mesh can deliver performance gains for both new and legacy devices.” The Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform enables collaboration, telepresence, AR/VR, and immersive gaming applications. Offering multiGigabit coverage and low latency for modern applications, when paired with the Qualcomm Multi-Link Mesh, it allows for immediate performance benefits for legacy devices and the newest Wi-Fi 7 connected devices. Sharing a common architecture with the production-ready Qualcomm Networking Pro Series Wi-Fi 7 Platform, the Qualcomm Immersive Home Platforms are being tested now, and the company expects commercial availability this year. “Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 Immersive Home platforms provide our customers with cost-effective, high-performance networking for any size home,” said Aly Reyes, managing director at Linksys, which is working with Qualcomm. NETGEAR also is working with Qualcomm on the platform. In the meantime, a Wi-Fi 7 gaming router already has become available. The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 leverages the potential of Wi-Fi 7 with 320 MHz channel support in the 6 GHz band. It reportedly delivers up to 160 percent faster speeds than the previous generation. In addition, with 4K QAM modulation that can pack more data into transmissions, peak data rates are up to 20 percent higher, delivering speeds of up to 25,000 Mbps. Furthermore, two additional features – multilink operation and multi-RU puncturing – allow the GT-BE98 to deliver more efficient and reliable wireless connections. Multi-link operation simultaneously transmits across different bands and channels to increase throughput to the device, lower the latency and improve reliability. Multi-RU puncturing segments a wide channel bandwidth into smaller units, enabling puncturing to eliminate interference for the remaining bandwidth and increase efficiency. According to ASUS, gamers receive 10-times faster data-transfer speeds for bandwidth-demanding tasks with one 10 Gbps WAN/LAN port and two 10 Gbps LAN ports. In addition, for gamers who live in larger homes, the ASUS RangeBoost Plus improves signal range and overall coverage. o MOBILE & WIRELESS 66 CHANNELV ISION | JANUARY - FEBRUARY 2023 FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS - Subscriptions to ChannelVision magazine are free to executives working for telecommunications service providers.
