Qualcomm unveiled four artificial intelligence (AI)-powered broadband technologies on Oct. 12 ahead of Network X 2026. ​The technologies include a next-generation AI gateway, an intelligent software framework, high-speed wireless distribution and backhaul platforms, and a fixed wireless access (FWA) platform. ​All four combine on-device AI processing with network intelligence. The approach embeds intelligent processing across the network to improve responsiveness and security while simplifying operations for telecommunications operators. ​The next-generation AI gateway is powered by Qualcomm's Dragonwing NPro A8 Elite Platform. The system-on-chip (SoC) integrates concurrent quad-band 4x4 Wi-Fi 8 connectivity, a penta-core central processing unit (CPU), and a high-performance Qualcomm Hexagon neural processing unit (NPU). ​A gateway connects an external internet connection to an internal network, combining the functions of a modem and a router. With its high-performance SoC, the gateway can support agentic AI, personalized subscriber services, and smart-home management directly on the device. ​The platform also enables symmetrical broadband speeds of 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) for both uploads and downloads. The capability was developed through collaboration with GFiber, the internet service provider owned by Alphabet. ​Qualcomm also introduced Dragonwing Security and...
