It was like a dream, and suddenly Wi-Fi 7 came?!
Now, the entire market is dominated by Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 6 is in the promotion stage, and the news of Wi-Fi 7 came out unexpectedly.
Recently, Qualcomm announced the launch of the world's most advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless program "FastConnect 7800", is it not unexpected.
It is the world's first commercial Wi-Fi 7 solution and the fastest and lowest latency Wi-Fi product to date.
Before we say that, though, let's take a look at this new wireless standard: Wi-Fi 7!
What is Wi-Fi 7?
Wi-Fi 6 can provide faster incremental speeds than Wi-Fi 5, while Wi-Fi 7 is faster than Wi-Fi 6, and the industry is directly set as "802.11be EHT", which is extremely high throughput.
Wi-Fi 7 can deliver rated peak data rates in excess of 40 Gbps, more than four times faster than Wi-Fi 6 and more than six times faster than Wi-Fi 5.
The multi-link operation (MLO) technology it introduces can provide faster throughput performance while reducing latency and further increasing network capacity, thereby increasing the rate.
However, Wi-Fi 7 has a more powerful point, that is, it can provide more channel bandwidth than ever before.
In simple terms, it can provide 320MHz channel bandwidth on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz radio bands.
Originally, Wi-Fi 7-related products also needed at least 2023 to be released, and the specifications were expected to wait until 2024, which seems to have been advanced.
That is, the Qualcomm "FastConnect 7800" said at the beginning of the article, let's take a look at what is going on.
According to official data, FastConnect 7800 fully supports all the features of Wi-Fi 7, supporting three major frequency bands: 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz.
At the same time, it also supports high-frequency multi-connection concurrency technology, 4-channel dual-frequency and features extended to high-frequency bands, 4K QAM modulation technology, and the peak transmission speed can reach 5.8Gbps, which is up to 60% higher than the previous generation.
Of course, this speed needs to be based on the 6GHz band, 320MHz channel, or 160MHz channel.
Moreover, the official said that compared with the previous generation, it provides a 50% reduction in power consumption, a 2 times faster pairing speed, and a 2 times larger signal reception range.
However, although MediaTek, Qualcomm and everything else have launched WiFi 7, it is still far from our real distance.
So, the above-mentioned technology landing, conversion, etc., a series of operations down, we really want to experience WiFi 7, it is estimated that it will really wait until 2024.
