WiFi 1) Ideal for Cost-Sensitive Projects

IPQ5322 is a cost-effective WiFi 7 solution, suitable for applications that require affordability, low power consumption, and integration while maintaining reasonable performance. Common use cases include:

• SMB office networks: Supports WiFi 7 features without requiring extreme throughput.
• Home routers: Sufficient for everyday use, including streaming, browsing, and gaming.
• Smart home devices: WiFi 7 support for IoT applications with low power requirements.
  
  

2) Low Power Consumption and Simple Cooling Requirements

With a Cortex-A53 architecture, IPQ5322 has lower power consumption, making it ideal for passively cooled or compact devices such as outdoor APs and IoT gateways. In environments where power efficiency and thermal management are critical, IPQ5322 is a more suitable choice.

3) Suitable for Standard WiFi 7 Performance

With 2×2 MIMO, IPQ5322 is sufficient for most home and SMB users. Typical applications include:

• WiFi 7 home routers (for households with 1-5 users).
• Small office APs (supporting 10-20 users).
• Low-power outdoor APs (for areas like parks, warehouses, and farms).

3. Why Choose IPQ9570?1) Designed for High-Performance Applications

With its Cortex-A73 architecture and a CPU frequency of 2.2GHz, IPQ9570 is better suited for:

• High-density WiFi 7 networks (e.g., airports, shopping malls, stadiums).
• Enterprise-grade routers and APs (providing high throughput and stability).
• Industrial-grade wireless gateways (for mining, oil rigs, smart factories).
  
  

2) Enhanced MIMO Capability

IPQ9570 supports 4×4 MIMO, delivering higher throughput and better stability compared to IPQ5322’s 2×2 MIMO. This makes it a better fit for:

• High-density office networks (handling multiple simultaneous connections).
• Large-scale commercial WiFi (for locations like shopping centers and subway stations).
• Enterprise-level Mesh networking (for high-performance wireless backhaul).
  
  

3) 10G Ethernet Ports for High-Throughput Applications

IPQ9570 features two 10Gbps Ethernet ports, whereas IPQ5322 offers only one 2.5Gbps port. This makes IPQ9570 ideal for data centers, enterprise wireless controllers, and high-end ISP CPEs that require high-speed wired connectivity
