Table of contents:
Qualcomm Atheros WCN3998 is a new chip for smartphones and tablets that includes the wireless connectivity that will be used in the near future, among them are WiFi 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.1 and WP3.
Qualcomm Atheros WCN3998
The new 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard will begin to see its mass adoption next year, this new version will offer higher performance and use less energy compared to the previous generation WiFi 802.11ac. This new Qualcomm chip offers manufacturers the option to start building new products based on the technologies of the future, supposedly they should start having access in the coming months.

Of course, this new chip is compatible with previous versions of WiFi, which guarantees full compatibility with routers and all devices that are already in users' homes. This new chip also includes Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity that will improve the transfer rate while reducing the power consumption of the current 4.2.
The WiFi 802.11ax standard introduces new wireless technology and improves MU-MIMO to connect multiple users at once. Currently, 802.11ac routers are MU-MIMO compliant, but one feature is optional. This new standard will be able to reactivate the devices at established times, thus allowing the scheduling of WiFi network traffic to reduce congestion. Finally, WPA3 encryption is included, which protects users' passwords and privacy more efficiently.
We will still have to wait many months to see the first devices that implement this new Qualcomm Atheros WCN3998 chip.
