Qualcomm Demos Next-Gen Networking Platforms at Wi-Fi 6 Conference

Qualcomm is demonstrating four new networking platforms at its Wi-Fi 6 event in San Francisco designed for densely congested networks, onboarding of hundreds of devices without degradation of user experience, and high performance, it said Tuesday. The platforms leverage all the elements of Qualcomm’s Wi-Fi 6 feature implementation but differ by format, scale of application and computing profile. Netgear's Orbi Wi-Fi 6 Mesh system, based on Qualcomm Wi-Fi 6 technology, delivers “significantly enhanced capacity, coverage and simultaneous multi-user performance” via dedicated tri-band support with quad stream radios for all the three Wi-Fi bands, said David Henry, Netgear senior vice president-connected home product.
