    "excerpt": "By Claus Hetting, WiFi NOW CEO & Chairman Qualcomm released a slew of announcements this week at Network X in Vienna – below the most important from a wireless connectivity point of view. Qualcomm , gFiber (formerly Google Fiber), and Gemtek have unveiled a new AI-native Wi-Fi 8 residential gateway designed to support gFiber’s symmetrical 20 Gbps broadband service. Announced at Network X in Vienna, the gateway combines next-generation Wi-Fi connectivity with powerful on-device AI processing, potentially marking an important step towards intelligent home broadband services. Qualcomm says this will be gFiber’s flagship symmetrical 20 Gbps broadband router and “is intended to elevate the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) from a piece of technology tucked away out of sight to a striking high-compute, living-room centrepiece, designed to serve as a household’s internet hub and the local platform for agentic AI at the edge.” Read the full announcement here . The gateway is powered by Qualcomm’s Dragonwing NPro A8 Elite platform and supports concurrent quad-band Wi-Fi 8 (802.11bn), a dedicated Hexagon neural processing unit (NPU), and a penta-core CPU. The integrated AI capabilities enable subscribers to interact with their home networks using natural-language commands, including managing parental controls, configuring guest access, integrating smart-home devices, and diagnosing...",
