Qualcomm Makes the Smart Home Work

Qualcomm has unveiled a new AI-ready IoT platform for home and industrial use and introduced service-defined Wi-Fi, both of which aim to improve the functionality and reliability of smart homes and buildings.

My 30-day experience with the new Orbi RBE973 Mesh Router, the three-pack from the 970 series, validates the reasons that make Wi-Fi 7 so exciting and how it could completely transform how we connect and interact.

The Wi-Fi Alliance has released a new version of its wireless technology, boasting new features designed to boost performance and improve connectivity across a variety of environments.

Wi-Fi 7 will bring cutting-edge capabilities to applications that require high throughput, lower latency, and greater reliability, and applications that tap into technologies such as augmented, virtual, and extended reality, immersive 3D training, and ultra-high definition video streaming.

The primary benefit of adhering to industry standards is that it ensures interoperability. Calix leverages several independent guidelines to ensure that its equipment works seamlessly with products from other manufacturers and hardware used by other broadband service providers.

Calix has good reason to believe that its managed Wi-Fi strategy, which has enjoyed strong appeal in the single-family home market, will experience significant traction in the SMB and MDU markets.
