Qualcomm joins the Wi-Fi 8 silliness era.

The company just revealed its “AI-native” Wi-Fi 8 portfolio at MWC, led by the FastConnect 8800 mobile chip. It promises 10+ Gbps speeds while packing Bluetooth 7.0, UWB, and Thread onto a single chip.

Alongside it, five new Dragonwing platforms will power your next ultra-fast router. The company expects commercial products by late 2026, before most of us have switched to Wi-Fi 7, and two years before the Wi-Fi 8 standard is officially ratified.
