Charter and Qualcomm to Deliver Next-Generation Advanced Wi-Fi Router
September 22, 2023 | Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Charter Communications, Inc. and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., today announced a collaboration to deliver the next-generation Advanced Wi-Fi router that will bring Wi-Fi 7 and 10 Gbps Wi-Fi capabilities to Spectrum Internet users, helping support and enhance the converged connectivity experience for residential and small and medium-sized business customers. Advanced Wi-Fi routers with Wi-Fi 7 are expected to be available to Spectrum customers in 2024.
“The leading Wi-Fi 7 innovations from Qualcomm Technologies will enable our Advanced Wi-Fi service to continue delivering robust and responsive internet connectivity and ultra-fast Wi-Fi speeds to our customers,” said Dave Rodrian, Charter’s Group Vice President of Wi-Fi Products. “This next generation of Wi-Fi will support the delivery of new experiences, such as fully immersive, ultra-low latency VR, and aligns with our network evolution plan to enable multi-gig wireless connectivity across our entire footprint.”
With internet usage and the number of Wi-Fi-connected devices continuing to grow, the demand for wireless connectivity has never been greater. Wi-Fi 7 advances the delivery of wireless connectivity by leveraging all three Wi-Fi bands – 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz – and enabling both higher throughput and lower latency through the implementation of new features including:
- Increased channel size, up to a peak of 320 MHz, delivering massive throughput gains from 6 GHz spectrum.
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO), supporting the use of multiple radios on a router to increase throughput and reduce latency.
- 4K modulation, boosting peak rates to increase throughput and capacity.
- Flexible channel utilization, an advancement based on preamble puncturing to avoid channels with interference.
“Qualcomm Technologies’ obsessive focus on technology development for advanced user experiences, along with our years-long collaboration with Charter, is on full display with the development of the Spectrum Advanced Wi-Fi router featuring Wi-Fi 7,” said Ganesh Swaminathan, Vice President and General Manager of Wireless Infrastructure and Networking, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “As broadband subscribers’ demand for high-performance connectivity continues to accelerate, we’re proud to deliver service-focused platforms to help customers meet those needs.”
In addition to supporting the latest Wi-Fi technology, Spectrum’s Advanced Wi-Fi product provides customers with control of their network via the My Spectrum App and includes Security Shield to protect their devices from online threats. It also powers exclusive Spectrum Mobile ™ features like Speed Boost and the Spectrum Mobile SSID, taking converged connectivity to the next level.
