Xiaomi has finally confirmed that it will announce its new Wi-Fi 6 router, the Xiaomi AIoT AX3600 at the Xiaomi Mi 10 online launch event on February 13. The existence of this router was first revealed by Digital Chat Station a couple of days back. But today, the company also revealed that the new router will be based on the Qualcomm Networking Pro 600 Wi-Fi 6 platform, which is essentially built for enterprise-grade routers.

Xiaomi has highlighted that the Mi AIoT AX3600 Wi-Fi ax router is the first to use an enterprise-grade platform for the consumer market. In the image shared on the company’s Weibo account, we can see that this router will be powered by Qualcomm’s IPQ8071 platform. The chipmaker explains that this platform is “the ideal architecture for retail routers, two-radio mesh networking systems, broadband gateways, as well as enterprise and carrier-class applications.”

The new-age Wi-Fi 6 promises to optimize power consumption and coverage capabilities of a router with support for high-speed concurrent connections. Other benefits of this new-generation connectivity include lower overall latency and high rate of data transmission.

We can expect more details about the new router in the next couple of days. It will officially launch alongside the Mi 10 series at an online-only event in China on Thursday, February 13.
