IIOT WiFi solution/IPQ9574 VS IPQ8074 support MU-MIMO-Beamforming-Advanced Wireless Technology
Both IPQ9574 and IPQ8074 are high-performance industrial router chips produced by Qualcomm. They have their own advantages in different markets and application areas. Here are their main features and benefits:
IPQ9574:
High-performance processing ability: IPQ9574 adopts multi-core processor and high-performance network engine, has powerful data processing ability, and is suitable for high-speed and large-scale industrial network environment.
Multi-band support: IPQ9574 supports multiple wireless frequency bands, including 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and possibly higher frequency bands, which makes it suitable for wireless networks covering a wider range.
Advanced network features: It supports advanced wireless technologies such as MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple-input multiple-output) and Beamforming (beamforming), which can provide more stable and efficient wireless connections, and is suitable for dense device connection environments.
Security: IPQ9574 integrates hardware-level security functions, such as hardware encryption engine and authentication support, which help to protect the security of the network and data.
At present, many WiFi solution companies on the market are producing WiFi7 products, and Wallys, as a well-known company among them, is of course also in preparation.

Nowadays, more and more industrial projects have higher and higher demand for WiFi, but many engineering companies will have certain difficulties in product selection. Some will think that the newer the chip, the better. In fact, it is not the case. We have to base on the situation of the project. To choose a suitable WiFi solution, let’s see how to choose the above two chips:
Performance requirements: WiFi 7 (also known as 802.11ax) is a more advanced wireless standard than WiFi 6 (802.11ax), offering faster speeds and better performance. If you need to support higher wireless speeds and more device connections, IPQ9574 may be more suitable for you as a WiFi 7 chip.
Device Compatibility: Although WiFi 7 offers higher performance, relatively few devices currently support WiFi 7. If your user base mainly uses WiFi 6 devices and does not plan to upgrade to WiFi 7 devices immediately, then IPQ8074 may be a more practical choice as a WiFi 6 chip.
Cost considerations: In general, chips that support newer wireless standards can be more expensive. Therefore, with a limited budget, you need to balance the relationship between performance and cost.
Future scalability: If you plan to use your router for a long time, it may be more future-proof to choose a chip that supports a newer wireless standard, because your device may be upgraded to support a higher standard wireless connection in the future.
