What is WiFi 7?
WiFi 7, the upcoming WiFi standard, promises to deliver faster and more efficient connectivity than its predecessors, WiFi 6 and WiFi 5. It is also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and works across all three bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) to fully utilize spectrum resources. In this blog post, we will discuss the features and benefits of WiFi 7 and why it may be the best solution for those who struggle with constant buffering, lag, or congestion.
WiFi 7 promises to deliver faster and more efficient connectivity than its predecessors. With its ultra-wide bandwidth, Multi-RU, and Multi-Link Operation, WiFi 7 will be capable of handling the needs of all devices simultaneously, providing a seamless experience. Improved spectrum efficiency and backward compatibility are also major advantages of WiFi 7. With WiFi 7, you can unlock more scenarios than ever before.
Faster Speeds with WiFi 7
WiFi 7 introduces 320 MHz ultra-wide bandwidth, 4096-QAM, Multi-RU, and Multi-Link Operation to provide speeds that are 4.8× faster than WiFi 6 and 13× faster than WiFi 5. With such speed, WiFi 7 will be capable of handling the needs of all devices simultaneously, providing a seamless experience. This speed is also expected to benefit high-bandwidth applications such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and gaming.
Multi-RU and Multi-Link Operation
WiFi 7 introduces Multi-RU and Multi-Link Operation to increase the capacity and efficiency of wireless networks. Multi-RU enables multiple users to simultaneously access the same channel by dividing it into multiple resource units (RUs). On the other hand, Multi-Link Operation allows devices to communicate on more than one frequency at a time, increasing efficiency by reducing the need for multiple connections.
Improved Spectrum Efficiency
WiFi 7 improves spectrum efficiency by using new technologies such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and Spatial Frequency Reuse (SFR). OFDMA divides a channel into smaller sub-channels, allowing multiple devices to share the same channel simultaneously. SFR allows the reuse of the same frequency in different areas by dividing them into smaller spatial units.
Backward Compatibility
One of the major advantages of WiFi 7 is that it is backward compatible with previous WiFi standards. This means that WiFi 7 routers can communicate with devices that support WiFi 6, WiFi 5, and older standards. However, to take full advantage of the speed and efficiency of WiFi 7, devices must support it.
