IPQ9554 and IPQ9570: Comparing Qualcomm’s Dual-Band and Tri-Band SoCs
IPQ9554 and IPQ9570: Comparing Qualcomm’s Dual-Band and Tri-Band SoCsAs Wi-Fi 7 technology reshapes the networking industry, Qualcomm continues to lead with its high-performance networking solutions. Among its new generation of SoCs, the IPQ9554 and IPQ9570 stand out as two powerful options designed for next-generation routers, access points, and industrial wireless systems.While both are part of Qualcomm’s Networking Pro Series, they target slightly different performance and application scenarios — one optimized for dual-band efficiency, and the other for tri-band throughput and multi-link operations. Let’s explore how they differ and what each brings to the table.1. Overview of Qualcomm IPQ9554The Qualcomm IPQ9554 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 SoC, ideal for enterprise and industrial applications that demand robust performance but within moderate power and cost budgets.Key features include:[*]Wi-Fi 7 dual-band support (2.4GHz + 5GHz)
[*]Quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU, clocked up to 2.2GHz
[*]Qualcomm’s Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for seamless multi-band connection
[*]Support for 320 MHz channels and 4096-QAM modulation
[*]Enhanced OFDMA and MU-MIMO capabilities
[*]PCIe Gen 3 interfaces for external Wi-Fi or Ethernet expansion
This SoC is widely used in industrial gateways, enterprise routers, and smart city networks, where reliability and stable performance are top priorities.2. Overview of Qualcomm IPQ9570The IPQ9570 is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 SoC, offering a significant leap in throughput and network flexibility compared to dual-band platforms.Key specifications:
[*]Tri-band support (2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz)
[*]Quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU, up to 2.2GHz
[*]Integrated network accelerator for high data throughput
[*]Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and Multi-RU support for better latency control
[*]Support for up to 16 spatial streams (4x4 per band)
[*]Designed for high-density environments and multi-device connectivity
The IPQ9570 is ideal for premium routers, mesh systems, and industrial backhaul links requiring wide coverage and multi-gigabit performance.3. IPQ9554 vs IPQ9570: Feature Comparison
