4×4 Changes Everything: A New Era of Speed and Range

On-Demand

As AI, ultra‑high‑resolution video, and multi‑device experiences surge, today’s connectivity enters a new era. Join us for a first look at Qualcomm® FastConnect™ 8800 Mobile Connectivity System, the world’s first 4×4 mobile Wi-Fi system* delivering up to 11.6 Gbps peak speeds**, up to 3× longer wireless gigabit range***, and breakthrough reliability—even with existing routers.

We’ll explore how FastConnect 8800 integrates Wi‑Fi 8, Bluetooth®, UWB, and Thread into one AI‑native system to enable next‑gen experiences like global device finding, low‑latency audio, and advanced proximity.

Discover how this new architecture sets the performance baseline for the next generation of mobile devices.

Qualcomm branded products are products of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.

*As of 2 March 2026
**Peak speed refers to maximum physical layer (PHY) rate
***provided 4x4 system architecture, 320 MHz, RF FEMs, and Wi-Fi 8 ELR. Testing in internal labs through iperf at 1 Gbps compared to previous generation.
