Just one month ago, the Wi-Fi Alliance announced FCC certification for Wi-Fi 6E, a cutting-edge standard that utilizes the 6GHz band to reduce network congestion. But Wi-Fi 6E may not get the hype it deserves, because Wi-Fi 7 is already in the works.<\/p>\n

The Wi-Fi 7 (or 802.11be) standard centers around an\u00a0Extremely High-Throughput (EHT), meaning that it\u2019s all about speed. While Wi-Fi 7 isn\u2019t entirely set in stone, experts expect the technology<\/a> to support speeds of\u00a0at least<\/em> 30GBps. That\u2019s roughly three times faster than Wi-Fi 6 or 6E (9.6GBps) and about ten times faster than Wi-Fi 5 (3.5GBps), which is most the common wireless standard in homes today.<\/p>\n

Now, these are just theoretical<\/em> speeds that users will only ever reach in ideal conditions. Physical obstacles and network congestion have a dramatic impact wireless networking speeds\u2014that\u2019s the point in Wi-Fi 6E, which shares a theoretical top speed with Wi-Fi 6\u00a0but<\/em> is better equipped to reach that speed thanks to its congestion-busting 6GHz band.<\/p>\n

But even in the worst conditions, Wi-Fi 7 should dramatically outperform previous standards. The Wi-Fi Alliance expects this technology to power the cloud-based future, which will deliver high-quality VR\/AR graphics, cloud desktop solutions (such as Windows 365), and cloud gaming streams with minimal latency or jitter.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the Wi-Fi alliance says<\/a> about Wi-Fi 7:<\/p>\n

Wi-Fi 7 enhancements will support reduced latency and jitter for time sensitive networking app<\/a>lications including AR\/VR, 4K and 8K video streaming, automotive, cloud computing, gaming and video applications, as well as mission critical and industrial applications. As with other Wi-Fi generations, Wi-Fi 7 will be backward compatible and coexist with legacy devices in the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz spectrum bands.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Wi-Fi 7 standard is still a work in progress, so its theoretical top speed and release date are not finalized. That said, MediaTek<\/a> is developing live demos for Wi-Fi 7 and claims that the tech could debut in 2023.<\/p>\n

Even if Wi-Fi 7 becomes available next year, I doubt that the average person (or even an enthusiast) will benefit from the tech for quite a while. Routers that support Wi-Fi 6E are already pretty expensive, and if you don\u2019t have a crazy-fast internet plan, the difference between Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 may not even matter.<\/p>\n
