Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be, represents a significant leap in wireless technology, offering speeds up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6 and 6E. Beyond speed, it enhances latency reduction, capacity, stability, and efficiency.
Wi-Fi 7 maintains backward compatibility but requires device upgrades to fully exploit its capabilities, including new routers, access points, smartphones, laptops, and more.
The advantages of Wi-Fi 7 include faster speeds, support for more connections, and adaptability for low-latency performance. It excels in delivering high-quality video, cloud gaming, and AR/VR applications while addressing congestion and interference.
Comparing Wi-Fi 7 to Wi-Fi 6E, both use the same frequency bands, but Wi-Fi 7 introduces notable upgrades:
-
Wider Channels: Wi-Fi 7 supports channels up to 320 MHz wide, enabling more data transmission.
-
Multi-Link Operation (MLO): MLO combines frequencies across bands into a single connection, offering efficiency and performance improvements.
-
Higher QAM: Wi-Fi 7 supports 4K-QAM, enhancing data transmission capacity.
These advancements make Wi-Fi 7 a game-changer for industries reliant on high-throughput, low-latency connectivity, such as video streaming, gaming, and AR/VR applications.
