Generally, it will be the next iteration to Wifi 6/6E. According to Wifi enthusiasts, Wi-Fi 7 will provide a major improvement over the current wifi algorithm. Qualcomm has said that it will be commercially available in the year 2024. For informative videos, have a look at our YouTube.
Wi-Fi 7: IEEE standard
IEEE, which also stand for Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineer generally provides a technical name for networks like Wi-Fi has the name IEEE 802.11.
Wi-Fi 7 generally named IEEE 802.11be will be the successor of the currently used wifi algorithm IEEE802.11ax.
Wi-Fi 7: speed
The wifi has hugely developed during the last decade. Moreover, Wifi has a 51% share in total IP traffic used worldwide. Wifi 6/6E provide maximum linkrate of 600 to 9608Mbit/sec.
Additionally, Wifi 7 will be three times the current link rate. It will provide a massive linkrate of 30Gb/s. Sounds Great!
Wi-Fi 7: Frequency & Security
Currently, only Wi-Fi 6E offers three working frequency bands: 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz. Wi-Fi 7 will also go with the same three frequency bands. Higher frequency bands aren’t backward compatible, they will be only used on a device with Wi-Fi 6E support. As high frequency provides high speed but also reduces the network coverage area.
When talking about security, Wi-Fi 7 will use the latest WPA3 security system. Additionally, With Wi-Fi gen 3 protection, a device has to pass the SAE encryption algorithm to connect to the network.
Wi-Fi 7: Channel Bandwidth & MIMO
When comparing the speed, There is a 100% increased channel in total Bandwidth than Wi-Fi 6E. Although, Wi-Fi has introduced 320MHz bandwidth together with more efficient utilization of non-contiguous spectrum.
- It will also support Multi band Carrir aggregeration.
- There is a support of 16 spatial steams of MIMO compared with 8×8 MIMO of Wi-Fi 6E currently.
- Also integretad with TSN for very low latency together with IEEE802.11aa.
Wi-Fi 7:QAM Modulation
Wi-Fi has introduced 4096-QAM in its upcoming generation compared to 1024-QAM as of now. With higher QAM modulation, it results in higher link capacity & data rate. On the other hand, It will reduce the network ara and will increase linearity in the transmitter.
Multi-Link Operation
You may consider it like Carrier aggregation we have in our smartphones. With a multi-link operation, the receiver will be able to use multiple bands at the same time to improve overall speed and reduce latency.
Launch
Wi-Fi will be the upcoming generation aims to improve performance & quality by Wi-FiIt will take almost 2 years to get available commercially. This technology is being tested currently and will be announced in 2024.
