Wi-Fi 7: The Future Is Coming — Learn About It Now

Wi-Fi 7 is on the way and is expected to bring even more benefits to consumers and businesses.

Technically known as Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE)?802.11be, Wi-Fi 7 takes things a step further than Wi-Fi 6 by combining three data bands, ultra-wide data channels and using multiple data channels together for even more throughput.

This gives the next wireless standard the potential to usher in a new era of connectivity and reliability that could possibly push wired connections aside.

This is especially important in the workplace where Wi-Fi is generally more important than wired or cellular networks because it’s the most convenient way for employees to access the internet—without sacrificing on speed

Most businesses have become more reliant on Wi-Fi for several reasons, such as:

• The ability to use all sorts of wireless devices
• It’s fast, reliable and affordable
• It enhances security and speed
• It empowers mobility and collaboration

Wi-Fi 7 should provide all these benefits – but even more so.

Wi-Fi 7 routers and clients will operate on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz radio bands. The new standard will offer enhanced OFDMA operations that use Multiple Resource Units (MRUs) designed to further reduce latency and interference.

The big advance is a doubling of the MU-MIMO streams, to 16. This is a key driver behind the industry's ability to tout such massive overall throughput gains compared with Wi-Fi 6.

Additionally, Wi-Fi 7 will introduce Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, which allows devices to simultaneously send and receive data over multiple radio bands to create a single aggregated connection. This will not only provide faster throughput performance, but will also help reduce latency and allow data to flow unimpeded by network traffic or interference.

Organizations should be learning everything they can about Wi-Fi 7, which may appear as early as 2023.
