Qualcomm brings AI focus to Wi-Fi 8 rollout with new portfolio
Qualcomm is using the move to Wi-Fi 8 to pitch home and enterprise networks as local engines for AI workloads, not just pipes to the cloud. At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company introduced a new Wi-Fi 8 portfolio for mobile devices, broadband gateways and enterprise systems, arguing that rising AI traffic is reshaping how wireless networks need to work.
The company says Wi-Fi 8 infrastructure will help support AI-heavy applications at the network edge, closer to users and their devices. The new portfolio is framed as a way to handle higher data loads and more latency‑sensitive AI use cases inside homes and offices, rather than relying solely on remote data centers.
