The Wi-Fi Alliance has officially begun certifying Wi-Fi 7 devices, marking the introduction of the next generation of wireless networking technology, as reported by Ed Hardy and @blunderchief / The Verge. Wi-Fi 7 promises significant improvements over its predecessor, Wi-Fi 6, including faster connections, lower latency, and enhanced capacity to handle more simultaneous connections. These advancements are expected to better support bandwidth-intensive and low-latency applications such as streaming, augmented and virtual reality technologies, gaming, and communication services, particularly for remote work. The certification of Wi-Fi 7 hardware comes two years after the standard was first introduced, with the finalized specification now in place, according to @MalcolmOwen. Qualcomm has been at the forefront of this development, with over 450 Wi-Fi 7 designs already launched or in development, as highlighted by @WiFiAlliance. Wi-Fi 7 is also set to utilize more of the 6 GHz band to achieve these performance gains. The move to Wi-Fi 7 is anticipated to be a significant upgrade for upcoming phones, laptops, and routers in 2024, a sentiment echoed by coverage from @VentureBeat and discussions at #CES2024.
