What is WiFi 7?

WiFi 7 will open new doors for home entertainment technology while vastly improving experiences on the technology available today.

Streamers will enjoy smoother crisper video, with the ability to stream multiple pieces of 4K and 8K content at once throughout the home. With improved bandwidth, speed, and resource allocation, a household can easily stream UHD videos, host Twitch streams, game in VR, work on Zoom calls, and browse the web without issue.

Even more exciting is the next generation of AR and VR content users have in store. WiFi 7 unleashes a world of possibilities to explore new virtual worlds with fully interactive content. With ultra-high speeds and imperceptible levels of latency, users can immerse themselves in these worlds with lifelike responsiveness and new sensory technologies that elevate the experience beyond our wildest imaginations.

WiFi 7 will bring immediate improvements for all connected homes and smart homes, allowing families to more easily work and learn remotely without running into issues from competing traffic.

The rise of remote work and learning has taxed the abilities of current WiFi technology, as data-intensive Zoom calls and video streaming compete for bandwidth. With WiFi 7, you can say goodbye to the days of glitchy and frozen video conferencing streams. WiFi 7 offers more channels and flexible utilization of those channels to deliver a much smoother experience, for more devices at once.

This improved ability to handle many devices at once also opens the door to many new IoT smart home devices. With massively improved abilities to handle high network traffic, smart home devices can become increasingly sophisticated, accomplishing data-intensive tasks like uploading security feeds to the cloud, without bogging down your network speed.

WiFi 7 will unlock many new capabilities for business and also improve upon the fundamental way in which it operates today.

In terms of how WiFi is used today, users will experience noticeable performance improvements on shared office networks thanks to improved speed and bandwidth, as well as new features like multi-link operation and multi-access-point coordination. In simple terms, WiFi 7 will be better at managing multiple users at once and will have improved ability to deliver faster speeds across the full footprint of the office.

In terms of how WiFi is used in the workplace of tomorrow, WiFi 7 will unlock intriguing capabilities for incorporating AR and VR into the workplace, enabling next-gen hardware like goggles or contact lenses with AR-enhanced heads-up displays, robust IoT-enhanced smart office products, and further-improved workplace automation technologies.
