Wireless technology has come a long way, since the introduction of Wi-Fi, in 1997. With the increasing demand for faster, and more reliable Internet connections, Wi-Fi 7, the latest iteration of Wi-Fi technology, is set to take the World by storm. This article will delve into what Wi-Fi 7 is, how it differs from Wi-Fi 6, and why it is better for streaming.
Wi-Fi 7 is the next-generation of wireless networking technology that is expected to deliver faster speeds, higher capacity, and lower latency, than its predecessors. Also known, as: 802.11be, Wi-Fi 7 is still in development, and is expected to be officially released, in 2024. This new standard is expected to be a major leap forward, in wireless networking, with a focus on delivering gigabit-level speeds—even in high-density environments.
One of the major differences – between Wi-Fi 7, and Wi-Fi 6 – is the use of Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology. While Wi-Fi 6 introduced MU-MIMO technology, Wi-Fi 7 takes it a step further; with the introduction of Multi-User Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (MU-OFDMA) technology. This allows multiple users to share the same frequency bands; which helps to increase network efficiency, while reducing latency.
Another key feature of Wi-Fi 7, is: its use of beamforming technology. Beamforming allows Wi-Fi signals to be directed toward specific devices, rather than being broadcast in all directions. This helps to improve signal strength, reduce interference, and to increase the overall speed and reliability of the network. With Wi-Fi 7, beamforming is expected to be even more precise, and efficient, than with previous generations of Wi-Fi.
For streaming, Wi-Fi 7 is expected to provide significant improvements, over Wi-Fi 6. With faster speeds, higher capacity, and lower latency, Wi-Fi 7 will be able to handle the demands of streaming high-quality video content more effectively. The introduction of MU-OFDMA technology, and more efficient beamforming, will also help to reduce buffering, and to provide a smoother streaming experience.
In conclusion, Wi-Fi 7 is the next-generation of wireless networking technology that is set to revolutionize the way in which we use the Internet. With faster speeds, higher capacity, and lower latency, Wi-Fi 7 is expected to provide significant improvements over Wi-Fi 6—particularly, for streaming high-quality video content. While Wi-Fi 7 is still in development, it is expected to be released in 2024; and it is sure to be a major step forward, in wireless networking technology.
