The next generation of WiFi that is coming should indeed be a real little revolution. WiFi 7 should indeed reach a data transfer speed of around 40 Gbps. Something to revolutionize all the network infrastructures that we know. And that could happen as early as next summer.
While WiFi 6E is still developing, WiFi 7 is slowly getting ready and manufacturers are certainly getting closer to the launch of this new wireless connection network. Qualcomm, for example, has just presented its new WiFi 7 chips with a speed of 33 Gb/s. While engineers working on WiFi 7 have already developed a system that would detect movement using radio waveswhich could in particular detect falls in the elderly.
Big companies like Qualcomm and MediaTek have been working on WiFi 7 for a long time. Work has come a long way, and the new WiFi networking standard could even debut as early as 2023 on select devices like routers and smartphones. And this transition to WiFi 7 should considerably change the world of wireless connection, in particular because this new WiFi network brings a speed of data transfer never seen before.
According to the current development trend, next summer WiFi 7 will be well and truly operational. And maybe everyone will be able to use this new WiFi network. A real revolution will then be underway, because this WiFi 7 will bring with it some pretty incredible features.
WiFi 7 should be operational from the summer of 2023, big changes are on the way
For example, WiFi 7 should offer a data transfer speed of 40 Gbps. Which is pretty huge. To notice it and give an idea of the thing, it is more than four times the speed of a standard USB 3.1 port. And that’s also roughly the maximum speed of a Thunderbolt 3 cable, but without any wires.
WiFi 7 will also be able to accommodate a greater number of users to connect. And a single channel in WiFi 7 will be able to accommodate more than 500 individual users. A huge step forward when we know that the speed of our current WiFI networks drops considerably when several users connect to the network.
All these features of the WiFi 7 network should revolutionize our network installations. Applications linked to the metaverse, artificial intelligence or consumer virtual reality kits could thus greatly benefit from it. The revolution is on.
