Wireless technology is continuously evolving, and with Wi-Fi 7 we are getting faster speeds, dependable and effective connectivity.

What is Wi-Fi 7?

Wi-Fi 7 is the next-generation wireless networking standard developed to meet the growing demands of modern applications, such as 4K/8K video streaming, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), and largescale IoT deployments. Officially known as IEEE 802.11be, this standard is designed to deliver significantly enhanced performance over its predecessor, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax).

Key features of Wi-Fi 7 include:

Increased Speed: Wi-Fi 7 offers a theoretical maximum throughput of up to 46 Gbps, nearly four times faster than Wi-Fi 6.

Extended Channel Width: With support for 320 MHz channel bandwidth, Wi-Fi 7 doubles the capacity of Wi-Fi 6, enabling higher data rates.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO): With MLO, Wi-Fi 7 supports establishing multiple links between the Station (STA, such as your phone) and Wi-Fi access point (AP, such as your router). Connecting to the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands simultaneously increases throughput, reduces latency, and improves reliability

Enhanced MU-MIMO and OFDMA: Wi-Fi 7 builds upon these technologies to improve efficiency, especially in dense environments.

Why Wi-Fi 7 matters:

Strong wireless infrastructure is becoming more and more necessary as digital transformation picks up speed. Networks that can manage massive data volumes and guarantee uninterrupted connectivity are necessary for applications like immersive multimedia, smart homes, and industrial IoT and cloud hosted ERP systems that require constant, uninterrupted connectivity.
