Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. launches the world’s first automotive-grade Wi-Fi 7 access point solution to promote the development of in-car experience, Qualcomm QCA6797AQ. In the era of software-defined automotive architecture, connectivity is a key component, and Qualcomm platforms provide a complete set of solutions, including cellular 5G/4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, C-V2X and precise positioning technology.
As vehicles transform into personalized connected spaces with advanced infotainment systems and augmented reality dashboards, new solutions address the growing demand for advanced in-vehicle experiences and applications.
To address the growing need for greater capacity, higher data rates, and more powerful wireless connections, Wi-Fi 7 and its innovative technologies such as high-band synchronization, multi-link multi-radio, 320 MHz channel bandwidth , 4K Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and adaptive puncture become a transformative force.
Wi-Fi 7 enhances link reliability and reduces latency with features like high-band simultaneous multi-link radios, virtually eliminating connection interruptions due to external interference. By being able to operate on both 5GHz and 6GHz channels, it optimizes the communication channel, resulting in a more reliable connection for uninterrupted data transfer and reduced latency, which is critical for latency-sensitive applications such as streaming and gaming.
The increased capacity of Wi-Fi 7 via the 6GHz spectrum and 320 MHz channels, coupled with features such as 4K QAM and adaptive hole punching, make Peak throughput up to 5.8 Gbpsdownloads HD maps faster and supports an increasing number of Wi-Fi devices in vehicles.
Qualcomm’s Wi-Fi 7 solutions not only enhance the in-car experience, but also transform the automotive industry by enabling connected services, making faster software updates, efficient data offloading at service points, and more easier. Let’s keep an eye out to see what happens in the next few months!
