Alongside the speedy new Snapdragon X70 5G modem, Qualcomm has also upgraded its connectivity suite to deliver the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies to its users. With the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 system, the chipmaker has today unveiled the world’s first Wi-Fi 7 product, which will reach OEM partners in the second half of 2022. We expect the FastConnect 7800 connectivity system to be present aboard the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
Qualcomm aims to offer the world’s fastest and most-advanced connectivity system with FastConnect 7800. It is a 14nm Wi-Fi + Bluetooth system that supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 specifications that will enable high-speed, ultra-low latency network connectivity on your next flagship smartphone.
Apart from Wi-Fi 7, FastConnect 7800 also supports Bluetooth 5.3 with a number of audio-centric enhancements. With Bluetooth LE audio and Snapdragon Sound support, the connectivity system now offers a Dual Bluetooth feature. It uses “two radios with enhanced connections” to enable you to stream premium 16-bit CD lossless quality audio over wireless Bluetooth headphones. Moreover, it allows Bluetooth accessories to work up to twice the range, pair in half the time, and consume up to 50% less power.
