Real-World Application: Building Long-Range Outdoor Links with DR9574 + QCN9274

As industries demand faster, more stable, and longer-distance wireless connectivity, Wi-Fi 7 platforms are becoming the preferred choice for outdoor point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) deployments.
In this article, we explore how the Wallys DR9574 router board, combined with the Qualcomm QCN9274 Wi-Fi 7 radio, delivers exceptional long-range outdoor performance, high throughput, and robust reliability for real-world industrial applications.

Why DR9574 + QCN9274 Is Ideal for Long-Range Outdoor Links

1. Wi-Fi 7 MLO for Ultra-Stable Links

The QCN9274 supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO), enabling simultaneous data transmission over multiple bands.
Benefits include:

Lower latency across long distances
Improved link resilience under interference
Higher aggregated throughput for demanding applications

This is especially valuable for outdoor links exposed to noise, weather, and dynamic RF environments.

2. Long-Range Optimized Hardware Design

The Wallys DR9574 uses Qualcomm’s IPQ9574 platform and provides:

High-gain antenna support
Industrial-grade power design
Multiple PCIe slots for high-performance Wi-Fi 7 cards such as the QCN9274
Excellent heat dissipation for outdoor enclosures

These features ensure stable operation even in harsh climates.

3. High Throughput for Bandwidth-Intensive Applications

With the QCN9274’s 4x4 MU-MIMO and 320 MHz channel width, users can achieve:

Gigabit-level wireless backhaul
High-speed CCTV/Video streaming
Fast data offloading between remote sites

This makes the solution suitable for modern high-capacity outdoor networks.

Real-World Application Scenarios
