This article provides engineers, product managers, and technical decision-makers with a clear and comprehensive analysis of why Qualcomm’s QCN9274 and QCN6224 chips are strong candidates for WiFi 7 module development. From protocol capabilities, hardware architecture, RF performance, software ecosystem, development cost, and commercialization risk assessment, this analysis outlines both the technical and business advantages of choosing these chips. 1. Key Capabilities of WiFi 7 (Background) Before evaluating the chips themselves, it is important to understand the core features introduced by WiFi 7 (802.11be), which directly influence chipset selection: Multi-Link Operation (MLO) — Enables simultaneous use of multiple bands/links to improve throughput and reliability. Wider channel bandwidths (up to 320 MHz) and 4096-QAM modulation — Greatly increases peak throughput. Improved multi-RU allocation and simultaneous UL/DL — Enhances spectrum efficiency and concurrent traffic perfor...
