GX Group Partners With Qualcomm To Manufacture AI-Enhanced Wi-Fi 7 Routers In India
Broadband gear maker GX Group has partnered with US chip company Qualcomm to roll out AI-enhanced Wi-Fi 7 solutions to be made in India, the European firm said on Wednesday (4 March).
The company's made-in-India Wi-Fi 7 broadband platform was launched by Union Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia at the Mobile World Congress 2026, being held at Barcelona, in Spain.
The collaboration marks a significant boost for India's domestic manufacturing ambitions in the telecom sector.
GX is one of the beneficiaries of the telecom production-linked incentive scheme, which has enabled the Netherlands-based company to establish manufacturing operations in India.
Manmeet Singh, Qualcomm India's business head for automotive, connectivity, broadband and IoT, said the collaboration reflects their shared vision of delivering scalable, high-performance wireless solutions that empower service providers and unlock richer digital experiences across homes and enterprises.
The partnership positions India as a key manufacturing hub for next-generation broadband equipment destined for global markets.
GX Group Director for Global Account Sales, Sambit Swain, said that India's opening of the lower 6 GHz band marks a decisive step in strengthening its position as a global broadband innovation hub, as it enhances domestic connectivity while reinforcing India's role in building resilient, diversified technology supply chains.
The Indian government delicensed 500 MHz of spectrum in the 6 GHz range, specifically 5925 to 6425 MHz, in January 2026, enabling Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 technologies to function at full capacity for improved, high-speed indoor and outdoor connectivity.
GX Group's AI-powered Wi-Fi 7 gateway solutions, engineered in India, combine performance with scalable manufacturing, enabling partners to accelerate deployments and improve subscriber experience.
The new Wi-Fi 7 portfolio leverages the latest advancements in wireless technology, including wide channel bandwidth, multi-link operation and enhanced spectrum efficiency.
These capabilities support ultra-low latency and high throughput required for applications like 8K video streaming, cloud gaming, immersive augmented and virtual reality, and large-scale Internet of Things deployments.
The European broadband equipment manufacturer has established a facility in Manesar, Haryana, investing nearly Rs 125 crores, as a part of the Dutch Good Growth Fund initiative.
The company already supplies broadband hardware to Indian companies like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea's You Broadband, and the government-run BSNL.
With the Qualcomm partnership and the recent spectrum policy changes, GX Group aims to significantly expand its production capacity and export reach from its Indian manufacturing base.
