What if our connected home environment was smarter and used AI to revolutionize the way we use technology? Qualcomm has the ideal system for this and plans to turn it into a new trend that can be celebrated in style.
That we have more and more connected devices at home and that little by little everything is becoming smart is a reality that has already touched us all. Therefore, right now the next step is to start considering what the future of the connected home will be like thanks to the contribution that will be made, among other advances, by the upcoming availability of WiFi 7. And, as we indicated, Qualcomm has a very solid project with which it will take care of making it a reality.
Changing the daily life of users
Qualcomm's new interconnected system will be all about AI, putting artificial intelligence directly into Wi-Fi 7 routers. It will also bring this AI to other devices that play an important role in managing the home connection network, such as the mesh router networks we may have installed in our homes. In addition, the technology, which is called Networking Pro A7 Elite, will also be implemented in access points and other elements that are of fundamental importance.
As reported by Qualcomm, their intention is to increase the connectivity we have between the different devices in our home. To do this, they will use a system that will allow speed levels of up to 33 Gbps, thus ensuring that all devices can be connected in a perfect way.
What can we expect from it?
The project sounds good and looks very ambitious. The fact that it is an authoritative company like Qualcomm gives additional confidence in the plan, since it would not be the first time that they have managed to carry out a high-flying project. They mention that, thanks to this technology, the user's router will be transformed into an AI hub that will be responsible for extending its networks to all connected terminals to enhance them and improve their performance and possibilities. And the best thing is that they do not intend to limit themselves to the most demanding or most powerful devices, but they want this performance boost to apply to everything you have connected. To make it clearer, they clearly give several examples, such as photo and video cameras or vacuum cleaners.
In addition, they mention that they will not leave old devices aside and that they can also be integrated into this new network with AI for better performance. Qualcomm's statements accompanying the presentation of its Networking Pro A7 system indicate that its intention is to provide home networks and connected devices with a way to connect the AI that is in the devices and the AI that is acting from the cloud. The advantages of this technology will go further and will also provide other incentives. One of them is that users' personal information will stay within the network and will have less need to go outside of it. This will enable increased security and users can feel more at ease knowing that their data is not passing from server to server. In addition, AI will learn from all processes to better protect information.
Qualcomm says it will implement internal AI processing so that these types of tools do not have to constantly depend on the cloud. This will improve latency, avoid interference and will be a turning point so that connection problems do not occur. In addition, different types of devices will be able to receive new functions thanks to the incorporation of this technology. A security system could introduce image recognition or motion recognition tools. There is even talk of cameras that can detect emotions.
For now, the company has begun to present its new technology to various potential partners so that they can consider possible integration into their systems, services and devices. If everything goes as Qualcomm hopes, in the WiFi 7 generation we could end up connecting our devices at home in a more advanced way thanks to the added features that our router will have.
