Qualcomm has introduced the Networking Pro A7 Elite, a wireless networking platform that integrates edge AI with Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. The platform incorporates an AI co-processor with 40 TOPS of NPU computing capability, resulting in increased Wi-Fi 7 connection and networking performance. It also equips linked devices with sophisticated and centralised generative AI processing capabilities. The platform enables OEMs and ecosystem partners to shorten time-to-market and realise the full potential of generative AI for creative applications. The platform allows users to access a library of pre-optimized AI models or build their own.
The Qualcomm Networking Pro A7 Elite platform improves residential and corporate networks by including Wi-Fi 7 and edge AI, which improve connection and networking performance. OEMs and ecosystem partners may use the Qualcomm® AI Hub, pre-optimized models, or their optimisation to reduce time-to-market and harness the promise of generative AI for novel applications.

The integration of processing power into networks enables operators and businesses to install cutting-edge applications in security, energy management, and health monitoring. Edge AI improves privacy by processing sensitive data on gateways, allows personalisation through contextual knowledge, and delivers near-real-time solutions. This technique enables sophisticated AI for more devices, including older ones, enabling a consistent and harmonised user experience across all connected devices.
This platform is intended to facilitate market access and promote AI-enhanced application development. The platform, powered by the Qualcomm Networking Pro A7 Elite, uses AI networking for Wi-Fi routers, mesh systems, broadband gateways, and access points.
Qualcomm Technologies will present its most recent networking and connectivity advancements, including Edge AI applications, at Network X in Paris from October 8 to 10. The Qualcomm Networking Pro A7 Series will be available for sampling and hands-on experience in the Expo Hall, Stand A13.
