Promising the fastest offered speeds in mobile Wi-Fi, Qualcomm is presenting brand-new Wi-Fi 6E chipsets efficient in taking advantage of brand-new bandwidth in the 6GHz spectrum, which was provided by an FCC choice simply last month. Dubbed the Qualcomm FastConnect 6700 and FastConnect 6900 mobile connection systems, the chipsets guarantee speeds of as much as 3.6Gbps and “VR-class” low latency, along with Bluetooth improvements for emerging LE Audio utilize cases.
With 1,200MHz of bandwidth unblemished by other Wi-Fi gadgets up previously, the 6GHz band represents a dreadful great deal of fresh realty for cordless transmissions, with space for a higher number of larger channels for increased throughput. For contrast, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands utilized by current-generation Wi-Fi gadgets provide simply 70MHz and 500MHz of bandwidth, respectively.
Qualcomm shares the functions of the FastConnect 6700 and FastConnect 6900 chipsets.

With the FCC ballot all to open that 6GHz band to unlicensed Wi-Fi, makers are racing to capitalize. At the start of 2020 and in anticipation of the FCC’s relocation, the Wi-Fi Alliance developed the Wi-Fi 6E branding to assist recognize gadgets efficient in accessing the 6GHz band. In February, Broadcom did the same with brand-new Wi-Fi 6E chipsets of its own.
“Wi-Fi Alliance members have mobilized around 6GHz in an unprecedented way, and we’re excited to see Wi-Fi 6E solutions rapidly coming to market with the availability of new unlicensed spectrum in the US,” stated Kevin Robinson, senior vice president of marketing at the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Qualcomm says that the FastConnect 6700 and 6900 systems are sampling now and will ship in devices during the second half of 2020.
