Routers
Build a network for the new norm.
Today more than ever, a router defines the media and content experiences across the connected home. Routers featuring Qualcomm Technologies’ Wi-Fi and networking solutions satisfy greater demand for capacity, deliver intelligence instead of complexity and blur the lines between technologies— all to deliver the very best connected experiences.
Overtake product development challenges.
Building a router today can be daunting, when trends so clearly point to the never-ending consumer appetite for connected devices and cloud-based content and services, which can present a puzzle of complexity.
Our leading portfolio of custom solutions delivers much more than just connectivity. With cutting-edge features, first-to-market technologies and a deep and long-term commitment to standards-based innovation, we’ve created an entirely new standard for customers and consumers.
Wi-Fi technology leadership
Take advantage of our experience in pioneering Wi-Fi technologies, such as 802.11ac MU-MIMO, 802.11ad and soon, 802.11ax.
Enable new networking models
Provide fast and reliable connectivity, regardless of whether it’s a distributed network with multiple access points that leverages Qualcomm® Wi-Fi Self Organizing Network (SON) from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. or a hybrid network that combines our Wi-Fi with PLC technologies.
Performance for the modern network
Help eliminate buffering, dropped devices, congestion, slow speeds and more with our 802.11ac MU-MIMO, allowing the router to simultaneously serve several devices with just the right amount of bandwidth needed.
Next-generation throughput
Create ultra-high-speed zones—as fast as 4.6Gbps—with 802.11ad, our leadership tri-band solution. Combined with 802.11ac, 802.11ad helps networks handle skyrocketing media traffic by increasing network capacity.
Network potential realized
Ensuring a home Wi-Fi network lives up to its potential starts by optimizing with Qualcomm Wi-Fi SON, enabling tightly integrated configuration, management, prioritization and security capabilities.
Processing power
Bring tremendous processing power and flexibility to home and enterprise networking equipment with Qualcomm® Internet Processor (IPQ) from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. When IPQ is combined with our connectivity technologies and software, home and enterprise networks can support intelligent connectivity, communication and enhanced management of in-building sensors and systems.
