Broadcom and Samsung introduced the first Wi-Fi 8 platform for fixed wireless access, supporting multiple high-demand connections with low-latency performance. Broadcom expects this technology to accelerate FWA deployment, capture AI-driven cloud service spend and expand its infrastructure revenue streams.
Broadcom and Samsung jointly engineered the Wi-Fi 8 chipset to deliver fixed wireless access with enhanced spectral efficiency, sub-millisecond latency and simultaneous multi-user throughput. The platform supports advanced beamforming and dynamic channel allocation to ensure stable connectivity for business and residential deployments.
This launch extends Broadcom’s infrastructure portfolio beyond Wi-Fi 7, positioning the company to capture emerging fixed wireless markets. Management forecasts that FWA rollouts and the surge in AI-driven cloud workloads will drive incremental chipset sales and increase average selling prices in key segments.
The low-latency, high-throughput capabilities of Wi-Fi 8 are tailored for real-time AI inference at the network edge, AR/VR experiences and high-density enterprise environments. Telecommunications providers and enterprise IT teams are expected to prioritize trials to replace fiber backhaul in remote or underserved regions.
