Wi-Fi 6/6E (802.11ax) do you use it too? Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) is here!
According to the data, by the end of 2021, Wi-Fi 6 terminal shipments have reached 2 billion, and it is expected that by 2026, Wi-Fi 6/6E terminal shipments will reach 13 billion, accounting for 90% of smartphones.
Qualcomm today announced the world's most advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless solution, the FastConnect 7800, the world's first commercial Wi-Fi 7 solution and the fastest and lowest latency Wi-Fi product to date.
FastConnect 7800 fully supports all the features of Wi-Fi 7, supports three major frequency bands of 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz, supports high-frequency multi-connection concurrency technology, 4-way dual-band and features are extended to high-frequency bands, 4K QAM modulation technology, and the peak transmission speed can reach 5.8Gbps, which is up to 60% higher than the previous generation.
However, the premise of achieving this extreme speed is that the 6GHz band must be used, and the 320MHz channel or the paired 160MHz channel can be achieved.
In areas where the 6GHz band is not available (such as the mainland), the 160MHz and 80MHz of the 5GHz band can be combined into a 240MHz bandwidth, with a maximum speed of 4.3Gbps.
It is worth mentioning that the aggregation of high-frequency bands, which can release the traditional 2.4GHz frequency band, is dedicated to Bluetooth, Internet of Things connections, thereby avoiding congestion of different connections and devices.
In addition, the new solution has a delay of less than 2ms, which is 50% lower than the previous generation, and the energy efficiency is increased by 30-50%, which can greatly extend the battery life of the equipment.
In terms of Bluetooth, the program supports Bluetooth 5.3, LE Audio, ANT+, supports dual Bluetooth (2x2), supports Snapdragon Sound Snapdragon listening technology, and can bring 16-bit 44.1kHz CD-level lossless Bluetooth sound quality, 24-bit 96kHz ultra-high-definition Bluetooth sound quality, 32kHz ultra-wideband voice call, 68ms audio delay game mode, no stuttering game experience and in-game voice chat, stereo recording, Robust connectivity in complex congested RF environments.
Officially, compared with the previous generation, it can provide 50% lower power consumption, 2 times the pairing speed increase, and 2 times the signal acceptance range expansion.
FastConnect 7800 is now available and put into commercial use in the second half of this year, with the first customers including Acer, Asus, Honor, Meta (Facebook), OPPO, Tencent, vivo, Xiaomi and so on.
