Wi-Fi 7 is Coming: Get Ready for the Future of Wireless Connectivity
Cost-Effective Wi-Fi 7 Models Will Drive Technology Adoption over the Next Five Years
DellOro Group's report reveals the future of wireless technology
Wi-Fi 6E may be gaining traction, but it's set to be eclipsed by the next generation of wireless technology: Wi-Fi 7. According to a recent report from Dell'Oro Group, Wi-Fi 7 adoption is expected to skyrocket over the next five years, driven by the availability of cost-effective models that will make the new technology accessible to a wider range of users.
Wi-Fi 7 offers a slew of advantages over its predecessor, including significantly faster data rates, reduced latency, and improved reliability. It also employs new technologies like multi-link operation, which allows devices to connect to multiple access points simultaneously for even more consistent performance.
The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced that the Wi-Fi 7 specification will be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2024, paving the way for the release of commercial products later this year. As more devices and access points become available, Wi-Fi 7 is poised to become the new standard for wireless connectivity, enabling a host of new applications and experiences.
While the transition to Wi-Fi 7 will bring about a number of benefits, it's important to note that it will also require new hardware. Devices that are compatible with Wi-Fi 6E will not be able to connect to Wi-Fi 7 networks, so users will need to upgrade their devices to take advantage of the new technology.
Despite the need for new hardware, the availability of cost-effective Wi-Fi 7 models is expected to drive adoption of the new technology over the next five years. As more users upgrade their devices, Wi-Fi 7 will become the dominant form of wireless connectivity, delivering faster speeds, lower latency, and improved reliability for a wide range of applications.
