What are the benefits of WiFi 7?
As a cutting-edge tech, WiFi 7 brings the following key benefits:
-
Higher data rates, up to 46 Gbps
-
Lower Latency
-
Increased transmission efficiency
-
Larger network capacity for more devices
-
More reliable performance in crowded networks
What is WiFi 7? What is IEEE 802.11be?
WiFi 7 is the upcoming WiFi standard, also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT). It utilizes the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency bands. Building off WiFi 6, WiFi 7 introduces 320 MHz ultra-wide bandwidth, 4096-QAM, Multi-RU, and Multi-Link operation.
Introducing WiFi 7 - the upcoming WiFi standard. Learn what it is and why we need it.
Although WiFi 6 realized a 37% nominal rate increase, it was not as concrete as the 10-fold rate increase that WiFi 5 brought. The difference stemmed from the original intention of the WiFi 6 project, which aimed to improve efficiency rather than data rates. Meaning, WiFi 6 could offer better experiences in high-density environments, but its "negligible growth" in speed was not attractive.
Emerging applications (like 4K/8K videos involving transmission rates of up to 20 Gbps, VR/AR, remote offices, and cloud computing) require extremely high throughput and ultra-low latency, far beyond the capabilities of IEEE 802.11ax (WiFi 6). To meet these future demands, IEEE will release a new amendment standard IEEE 802.11be (WiFi 7).
To further enhance peak rates, WiFi 7 adopts a higher-order modulation scheme: 4096-QAM. This enables each symbol to carry 12 bits rather than 10 bits, which means 20% higher theoretical transmission rates than WiFi 6’s 1024-QAM.
A higher transmission rate allows users to obtain higher transmission efficiency. Now you can watch flawless 4K/8K videos, play massive online games without lag, or live stream from your home computer. With 4096-QAM, streaming just got that much better.
