Recently, MediaTek announced that it has demonstrated Wi-Fi 7 for the first time in the world based on Filogic chip products. MTK says Wi-Fi 7 is 2.4 times faster than previous-generation networks and will, for the first time, truly allow wireless to replace wired/Ethernet networks.
Although the official Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) is still being developed, there is news that its peak speed will reach 48 Gbps, with a typical speed of 40 Gbps.
In fact, what is not known is that behind the Wi-Fi 7 standard, Huawei currently contributes the most.
According to IPlytics statistics, as of October last year, Huawei has submitted and adopted the most contributions to TGbe (Wi-Fi 7 standards working group), and the fourth generation of wireless standards from Wi-Fi 4 to the present is still the largest contribution submitted by Huawei.
However, in the Wi-Fi 6 era, Qualcomm has contributed the most, and Qualcomm is also the company that holds the most EPs (Standard Essential Patents).
In addition, in the submission of Wi-Fi 7, Intel, LG, Broadcom, MediaTek, Samsung, NXP, etc. also have many, Apple, ZTE and so on the list.
It should be pointed out that Wi-Fi 7 is exactly what the standard is expected to sign and release in 2024, and MediaTek has stated that it will release its first product in advance in 2023.
