Acer Collaborates with Qualcomm to Launch Two New Routers
Acer announced two new gaming
routers, leveraging the power of the Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform and
tri-band Wi-Fi 7 for stable connections and enhanced wireless gameplay. The
Predator Connect X7 5G CPE unleashes blazing-fast internet speeds through 5G
and Wi-Fi 7, along with dual WAN connectivity to minimize disruptions. Fast, reliable,
and vast network coverage is provided by the Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh
Router with the expandability of its multi-link Wi-Fi mesh system, making
wired-level latency possible in a mesh setup.
Powered by Qualcomm Technologies’
advanced quad-core processor, the X7 and T7 provide gamers and streamers with
accelerated online experiences, improved Spectrum Utilization with Wi-Fi 7, as
well as enhanced MU-MIMO and OFDMA across connected devices.
“We are excited to announce the latest
Predator routers with 5G and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity options, empowering gamers to
take their gameplay to new heights,” said Wayne Ma, General Manager,
Connectivity, Acer Inc. “Thanks to Qualcomm’s Immersive Home Platform and quad- core processors, the new Predator
routers bring next-level performance and speed output to a wider range of
players and gaming environments.”
“Qualcomm Technologies is pleased
to collaborate with Acer, bringing a full suite of advanced connectivity
technologies to bear spanning 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and Mesh Networking,” said Rahul
Patel, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Connectivity Broadband and
Networking, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Together, these are essential
technologies for next-gen gaming and will thrill users with their immersive and
responsive gaming experiences.”
Predator Connect Routers: Unleashing
Next-Gen Internet Speeds with Wi-Fi 7 Acer’s gaming routers take a giant leap
forward with the introduction of the new Wi-Fi 7 Predator routers. Thanks to
Qualcomm Technologies’ wireless technology innovations, these routers can
double the speed output compared to Wi-Fi 6 while adding flexibility for Wi-Fi gamers
and enhancing performance through Wi-Fi 7’s significantly reduced latency,
better interference management, high bandwidth, and consistent performance for
connected devices.
The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE
stands out as the first to combine 5G and Wi-Fi 7 tri-band BE11000 throughput,
offering 3.5 Gbps over 5G and an extremely low latency of 1 ms. Users benefit
from dual connectivity through 5G and ethernet, incorporating load balancing
and failover mechanisms among devices in the mesh network to safeguard
operations against potential disruptions. The Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh
Router, with support for Wi-Fi 7 tri- band throughput, keeps up with the
combined throughput of BE11000 and can be effortlessly integrated with
multi-unit mesh systems, enhanced with High-Band Multi-Link Simultaneous for reliable
backhaul and better whole home coverage.
Intelligent Software Compatibility for Best-in-class Experiences
Predator’s newest gaming routers
include network acceleration and are compatible with the Intel Killer
Prioritization Engine, providing advanced network data detection and optimal prioritization
for thousands of different games, apps, and websites. Wi-Fi 7’s features such
as 320 MHz channel support, 4K QAM, and Multi-Link Operations improve the
routers’ performance by enabling devices to simultaneously send and receive
data across different frequency bands and channels, increasing throughput,
reducing latency, and minimizing network interferences.
With Multi-Link Mesh, gamers can
employ multiple access points that work together to form a unified network,
offering smart, efficient Wi-Fi throughout homes and large spaces. Gamers stay
in full control of the routers through the Acer Predator Connect utility app
and can monitor network signal strength through the Predator logo’s multi-color
lighting indicator located at the top of the enclosure. For an added layer of
security, the devices are integrated with Trend Micro Home Network Security
engine built-in to keep networked devices protected against potential attacks
and help examine network traffic.
