Qualcomm Technologies Inc. has unveiled a new Wi-Fi chip that will usher Wi-Fi technology's future, the end-to-end 802.11ax Wi-Fi portfolio. Together with the new standard, the telecommunications equipment company also announced a pair of chips, the QCA6290 solution for client devices and the IPQ8074 system-on-chip for network infrastructure.

The new 802.11ax Wi-Fi chip can provide up to 1.8 Gbps on the client side by means of a Dual Band Simultaneous (DBS), which is combined with a 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. As the company's new 802.11ax Wi-Fi chip become the pioneer in supporting the new standard, it should deliver 4 times greater capacity for efficient Wi-Fi traffic via a proven cellular techniques, such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) as well as the traffic scheduling, according to Qualcomm.

As more devices are increasingly linked to Wi-Fi networks, those connected devices become harder to be served by the current Wi-Fi standard. Thanks to the Qualcomm 802.11ax Wi-Fi portfolio, Qualcomm's Wi-Fi chip prioritizes network capacity and the way data is being carried out to multiple devices. As a number of modern Wi-Fi routers have to serve devices individually through a multiple process, Qualcomm's 802.11ax Wi-Fi portfolio would serve these devices simultaneously, and these devices will become standardized, Android Authority has learned.

With the capabilities of Qualcomm 802.11ax Wi-Fi and its rich-set of features, it is designed to enhance connected experiences, such as 4K Ultra HD video streaming, social media, file transfers and content sharing.

Senior Vice President and General Manager, Connectivity of Qualcomm - Rahul Patel, stated that Qualcomm is the first company to commercialize the capacity utilization-focused solutions, and they are now on the front lines of 11ax innovation that will push the Wi-Fi technology into the next level of high-capacity, high-efficiency networks. That being the case, the tech company is expected to commercialized the Qualcomm 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard in 2019.
