As homes became more connected with Smart TVs, appliances, speakers and more, the demand for high-performance connectivity grew across a wider range of devices. Consumers now expect their devices to handle the higher speeds and lower latency that Wi-Fi 7 brings.

Earlier this year, Qualcomm FastConnect 7700 mobile connectivity system brought Wi-Fi 7 to mainstream smartphones, accelerating the ubiquity of Wi-Fi 7. Now, FastConnect C7700 completes Qualcomm Technologies’ Wi-Fi 7 portfolio by extending mainstream Wi-Fi 7 into compute and consumer electronic applications.

Historically, Wi-Fi 7 has been a key component in premium tier devices. The expanded portfolio increases the accessibility of Wi-Fi 7 for both manufacturers and consumers. Our Wi-Fi 7 systems tap into wider 320MHz channels, which means higher speeds, lower latency and better performance farther from your router.

The FastConnect C7700 mirrors the features of the FastConnect 7700 and has been redesigned to better fit consumer electronic and compute devices with interfaces such as Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) and USB. This advanced connectivity solution is tailored for devices such as PCs, gaming consoles, cameras and more. With its robust feature set, the FastConnect C7700 is designed to ensure seamless and high-speed connectivity, making it an ideal choice for today's tech-savvy consumers.

Key features of the FastConnect C7700 include:

  • Wi-Fi 7 Performance: Experience ultra-fast 5.8 Gbps1 speeds with wide 320MHz channels and low latency, perfect for gaming, streaming and other high-bandwidth applications
  • Highly Integrated Design: Optimized with flexible interfaces including PCIe, USB, SDIO ports for flexibility and integration into a variety of consumer electronic devices, all while ensuring compact and efficient design
  • Proximity Capabilities: Easily find, access and interact with your Wi-Fi Ranging and Bluetooth Channel Sounding enabled devices

FastConnect C7700 marks an important milestone for consumers and manufacturers, enabling Wi-Fi 7 in a wider range of devices. Consumers can start to see FastConnect C7700 as early as 2026.
