Acer and Qualcomm Collaboration for New Generation Routers
Acer has teamed up with Qualcomm to unveil two cutting-edge routers: the Predator Connect X7 5G CPE and the Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router. These routers utilize the Hybrid QoS software, integrating the Intel Killer Prioritization Engine and Multi-Link operation to enhance network bandwidth, throughput, and reliability, catering to high-demand applications like online gaming.
Acer and Qualcomm's Latest Offerings: Predator Connect X7 5G CPE and T7 Wi-Fi 7 Routers
Predator Connect X7 5G CPE
The Predator Connect X7 5G CPE emerges as a pioneer by amalgamating 5G and Wi-Fi 7 technologies. It boasts a theoretical BE11000 throughput, delivering a combined maximum capacity of 11,000 Mbps across its 5G and Wi-Fi 7 connections.
Though individual speeds can peak at 3.5 Gbps over 5G, the BE11000 encompasses the overall data transfer potential when leveraging all available bands and technologies concurrently. Acer asserts that the router flaunts minimal latency, exhibiting a delay of roughly 1 millisecond.

The X7 5G CPE highlights dual WAN connectivity with failover mechanisms, ensuring seamless operation even in the event of a 5G connection drop. It also facilitates load balancing across its diverse connections.
Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router
Conversely, the Predator Connect T7 stands as a Mesh Router solely dedicated to Wi-Fi 7, offering tri-band connectivity. Leveraging three distinct frequency bands - 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and the expanded 6 GHz band - it aims to mitigate network congestion and interference.
Acer touts that the T7 can match the aggregated throughput of BE11000. It can be seamlessly integrated with other Predator routers to establish a mesh network, enhancing coverage and reliability, particularly for sprawling residences.
Predator Connect T7 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router
Both routers are driven by Qualcomm quad-core processors and harness the power of the Qualcomm Immersive Home Platform. This platform assures consistent performance and optimized spectrum utilization for interconnected devices.
Moreover, the routers are fortified with features such as broader Wi-Fi channels, advanced signal modulation techniques, and multi-connection technology. These attributes are engineered to curtail latency, mitigate interference, and enhance overall network performance.
Furthermore, Acer equips the routers with the Predator Connect app. This application empowers users to tailor settings and prioritize specific network traffic. Additionally, the routers incorporate Trend Micro Home Network Security, furnishing enhanced device protection.
Regrettably, Acer has refrained from disclosing any specifics concerning the pricing or availability of these routers.
