Our industry-leading 802.11ac router solutions are designed for performance, practicality, and efficiency, offering:
- 3 times greater performance than previous Wi-Fi technologies, with PHY rates up to 1.3 Gbps
- Hardware-accelerated architecture to reduce the impact of 802.11ac from the host processor
- Power efficiencies to meet today’s green standards
We also offer a full portfolio of 802.11n solutions, as well as options with embedded wireless network processors to provide host offload functionality and our solutions support the PCI Express interface.
Qualcomm StreamBoost™: Faster, Smarter Networks for the Connected Home
StreamBoost makes the most of a home’s broadband connection as people use more devices and more online media applications. Intelligent traffic management and an easy-to-use interface provide consumers with unprecedented performance and control over their home networks. For service providers, a better experience means fewer support calls.
StreamBoost identifies traffic on the home network and prioritizes each stream for maximum efficiency – giving all streams the priority and bandwidth required to ensure the best possible performance for everyone on the network. More powerful and easier to use than traditional Quality-of-Service, StreamBoost automatically prioritizes by application, without user intervention. Automatic, cloud-based updates for StreamBoost-powered routers ensure that the router grows with the home network; as more devices and applications are introduced, StreamBoost develops new policies and priorities.
Video-over-Wireless
Qualcomm Atheros’ 3-stream solutions are optimized for extraordinarily high-performance video-over-wireless, eliminating packet loss for latency and glitch-free transmissions, to seamlessly deliver service provider content with Qualcomm Atheros-enabled gateways.
Hybrid Networking with Qualcomm Atheros WLAN, Powerline and Ethernet
Qualcomm Hy-Fi™ gateway solutions bring together the best of Wi-Fi, Powerline, and Ethernet to provide high-fidelity connectivity platform for advanced broadband and entertainment services. In addition to simplifying home network installation and use, the combination of wired and wireless technologies ensures more reliable connectivity to deliver flawless media content everywhere in the home.
