WiFi 7 is the upcoming Wi-Fi standard set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It will work across all three wireless bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) and will be differentiated from its previous WiFi 6 predecessor by making a performance gain for consumers by having extreme speed and low latency. What that means to you is that you can take advantage of 8k video streaming, experience Virtual Reality (VR) or extended reality (XR), and utilize multi and simultaneous video conferencing. The use cases for consumers and businesses will explode as we explore what else we can do with our devices with WiFi 7.

WiFi 7 is the upcoming Wi-Fi standard set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It will work across all three wireless bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) and will be differentiated from its previous WiFi 6 predecessor by making a performance gain for consumers by having extreme speed and low latency. What that means to you is that you can take advantage of 8k video streaming, experience Virtual Reality (VR) or extended reality (XR), and utilize multi and simultaneous video conferencing. The use cases for consumers and businesses will explode as we explore what else we can do with our devices with WiFi 7.
