The steam controller 1 already has wifi, its not the only controller that does this, the nvidia shield controller also does. The standard these and a very few other controllers use is called wifi direct, and basically uses an adhoc network to connect. This is seamless for the user.
I think it’s unlikely that it’s a controller, but the days of 2.4ghz only are long gone. Sure you can still cheap out on it, but it’s not that expensive anymore. I could see a controller using a chipset that had it.
That’s would be really neat for those of us with lots of wireless interference in the 2.4 GHz band. I can’t even really use Bluetooth controllers for that reason.
Controller with 5ghz wifi? Hmm.
Valve could be trying their own version of stadia / Luna. Doubtful though. Probably a vr device.

Sure. Isn’t that 2.4ghz though?

Yeah, wouldn’t need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else.
Integrated Steam Link?
Standalone VR!
Fancy controller with embedded screen and CPU?
Don’t be crazy.
