With the rapid development of technology, wireless communication technology is constantly being iterated and updated. Nowadays, Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) has been fully implemented, and the short-range communication market is embracing unprecedented new opportunities.
Technical features of Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 7 is the new generation of wireless local area network technology following Wi-Fi 6, featuring the following highlights:
High speed: Wi-Fi 7 supports multiple frequency bands such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz, with a maximum theoretical speed of up to 40,000 Mbit/s, several times that of Wi-Fi 6. This means that in the Wi-Fi 7 era, users can enjoy faster data transmission speeds and meet the high bandwidth demands such as high-definition videos and large-scale games.
Low latency: Wi-Fi 7 adopts Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, which can seamlessly switch between different frequency bands, effectively reducing network latency. This is of great significance for applications with high real-time requirements, such as online games and telemedicine.
High reliability: Wi-Fi 7 enhances the anti-interference ability of signals through 16 spatial streams and multiple Input Multiple output (MIMO) technology, ensuring a more stable network connection.
Wide coverage: Wi-Fi 7 has stronger penetration and coverage, effectively reducing signal blind spots and enhancing user experience.
