What’s Coming in WiFi 7: From IPQ5424 to QCN9274

WiFi 6 brought us speed and efficiency. WiFi 6E opened up the 6GHz band. But WiFi 7 — the 802.11be standard — is about to redefine what’s possible in wireless.

At Wallys, we’ve been preparing for this shift with a new generation of hardware based on Qualcomm’s WiFi 7 chipsets, like IPQ5424 and QCN9274. These platforms are no longer just "future-ready" — they’re ready now.

Let’s break down what they bring to the table.

🔍 IPQ5424: The Mid-Tier WiFi 7 Engine You’ve Been Waiting For

Not every project needs a high-end SoC like IPQ9574. IPQ5424, part of Qualcomm’s “Marina” series, strikes a balance between performance, cost, and flexibility.

Key specs:

• 🧠 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.8GHz
• ⚙️ PCIe 3.0 for modular WiFi radios
• 🌐 Dual 2.5G Ethernet ports
• 💡 Ideal for high-throughput routers, industrial APs, or smart city mesh nodes
• ✅ WiFi 7 features like 6GHz support and Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
  

At Wallys, our upcoming IPQ5424 router board will enable OEMs to build robust WiFi 7 systems without overpaying for unused horsepower.

📡 QCN9274: Tri-Band WiFi 7 Radio for the Most Demanding Networks

If IPQ5424 is the brain, QCN9274 is the wireless muscle.

This radio module is the key to unlocking the full power of WiFi 7, with:

• ✅ 4x4 MIMO per band
• ✅ Tri-band support (2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz)
• ✅ Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
• ✅ Ultra-wide 320MHz channels in the 6GHz band
• ✅ Ready for outdoor, long-range, and enterprise-grade deployment
  

Pairing IPQ5424 with QCN9274 creates a high-performance, flexible solution that meets both industrial and consumer-level expectations.
