Developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the technology represents a significant improvement over previous versions.
It expands from 160 MHz to 320 MHz, providing twice the transfer speed of Wi-Fi 6. This enables multi-gigabit speeds for devices and increases throughput.
One of the key features of Wi-Fi 7 is the Multi-Link Operation (MLO) feature, which allows devices to send and receive data simultaneously on multiple channels, not just 2.5GHz or 5GHz.
This reduces latency and increases network reliability. As Broadcom’s vice president of marketing, Vijay Nagarajan, puts it, MLO “prevents congestion and significantly reduces latency, laying the foundation for digital interaction and a connected world.”
Wi-Fi 7 is expected to roll out quickly: According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, 233 million devices supporting the standard will hit the market this year, rising to 2.1 billion by 2028.
