TAIPEI, Taiwan – June 3, 2026 – MediaTek, a global leader in connectivity and semiconductor technologies, today announced a significant enhancement to the home cloud gaming experience. MediaTek’s AI-powered AQM (Active Queue Management) represents the industry’s first comprehensive AI QoS engine for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). Targeting one of gaming’s most challenging bottlenecks, this transformative service now drives up to 10 times lower network latency for NVIDIA GeForce NOW members worldwide.

As cloud gaming platforms like NVIDIA GeForce NOW grow in popularity, seamless gameplay across networks is crucial for delivering the console-class experiences users expect. Traditional home routers and gateways may struggle to manage traffic spikes and congestion, resulting in lag and reduced responsiveness. MediaTek’s new edge-focused solution, available via firmware upgrade on MediaTek T930-based CPEs, brings instant improvements without costly operator core or RAN upgrades.

MediaTek’s platform combines standards-based Active Queue Management (AQM) with an AI-powered QoS engine to proactively manage congestion and keep queueing delay consistently low. By continuously learning from real-time network conditions, such as radio quality, uplink contention, and household traffic load, AI AQM dynamically tunes congestion avoidance and scheduling policies to deliver ultra-low latency when it matters most.

Importantly, AI AQM is ecosystem-agnostic: it works at the CPE edge and does not require changes to applications, content providers, or cloud platforms. As a result, any application, from cloud gaming and video calls to remote work and everyday browsing, can benefit from a smoother, more responsive experience with reduced latency and jitter, even during peak in-home usage.

Unlike point solutions that depend on application modifications or operator-side upgrades, MediaTek’s approach operates entirely at the CPE edge. Using privacy-preserving flow metadata, it intelligently recognizes latency-sensitive traffic and applies AQM-driven congestion control and uplink-optimized scheduling to minimize delay and jitter — without Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).

To elevate the user experience, MediaTek’s AI-AQM optimizes cloud gaming performance across diverse network conditions and real-world user scenarios. AI-AQM at the network edge helps ensure that NVIDIA GeForce NOW streams remain smooth and responsive, even when the home network is busy. By reducing congestion-induced delay and stabilizing jitter, AI-AQM enables faster input response, more consistent frame delivery, and fewer gameplay disruptions, helping cloud gaming feel more like local play.

The Benefits of AI-Driven Wi-Fi Systems

As Wi-Fi deployments scale across campuses, enterprises, industrial environments, and smart buildings, network complexity is increasing faster than traditional management approaches can handle. This shift is driving strong momentum toward autonomous, AI-driven network operations that improve spectrum efficiency, network resilience, and user and device management.

For years, wireless innovation was largely measured by throughput, as each new generation of Wi-Fi promised higher data rates and greater capacity. While performance remains important, the industry’s priorities have shifted. Wi-Fi 8 represents a move toward experience-centric networking, where reliability, consistency, and intelligent operation matter as much as raw speed.

Delivering these capabilities requires more than simply adding an AI accelerator to an access point. Practical AI workloads depend on a well-balanced system. Compute resources must be matched with sufficient memory, bandwidth, and telemetry collection capabilities. A powerful processor alone cannot deliver meaningful intelligence if the system cannot efficiently move, store, and analyze data.

This becomes increasingly important as AI moves deeper into the network edge. Modern access points are evolving into intelligent platforms capable of running sophisticated analytics and decision-making functions locally. These systems can process network conditions in real time, reducing dependence on cloud-based support and enabling faster responses to changing environments.

At the center of this transformation is closed-loop AI. Rather than relying on manual configuration and reactive troubleshooting, closed-loop systems continuously observe network behavior, evaluate outcomes, and independently take corrective action. They then refine those actions based on measured results. This creates a network that can proactively optimize itself.

Instead of waiting for users to report poor performance, AI can identify emerging issues, adjust configurations, allocate resources, and improve the user experience before disruptions occur. As networks grow larger and more dynamic, this capability becomes essential rather than optional.

The role of the access point will also continue to expand. While connectivity remains foundational, future platforms will support a broader range of AI-driven services, including natural language interfaces that allow network administrators to interact with the network using conversational commands. For home users who are not network engineers, this capability offers significant benefits.

The next generation of Wi-Fi will deliver networks that can understand, adapt, and optimize themselves. As Wi-Fi 8 emerges and AI capabilities continue to mature, access points are becoming the intelligent edge infrastructure that will power the next generation of connected experiences.
