WiFi 7 is coming to users in 2024 at speeds exceeding 46 Gbps

WiFi 7 is on its way to revolutionizing data transfer speeds.

Al-Eqtisadiah from RiyadhSince the emergence of WiFi technology in 1997 for the first time in the world and its spread in 2022, WiFi has been and still is the most important technology in the 21st century, whether for large companies, small commercial activities, or even individuals, as no home is devoid of A wireless communication device, and the WiFi Alliance is working on developing this technology in conjunction with our increasing dependence on the Internet. We still need more developments and improvements, which contributed to the birth of the new high-speed WiFi 7 standard. Although WiFi technology has reached a level that meets the purpose of the ordinary consumer and more, the scope for development and improvement is still very much available, as it offers The WiFi 7 standard has many advantages that concern most institutions and companies that will inevitably interest the regular consumer in the coming years, as the new standard comes at faster speeds than its predecessor, as WiFi 7 is supposed to provide a maximum speed of at least 46 Gbps, which is approximately equivalent to Five times the speed of the current generation, in addition to that, this standard will include frequency bands up to 320MHz, which is twice the previous generation, and will work on various frequencies from 1GHz to 7.25GHz. This standard will also provide us with the ability to communicate on various frequency channels Such as 2.4, 5 or 6 GHz simultaneously on the same access point with the ability of each device to communicate on a specific channel so that this reduces the delay in the signal, ensuring a smooth experience in various applications that require a connection with a low signal delay, and users will be able to link Several points of connection with each other and coordination between them, as the WiFi 7 standard aims to make this process based on the standard itself without resorting to additional software and equipment, and this technology has been called Multi-AP Operation. The WiFi 7 standard is still under development and improvement, and it will be launched In mid-2024 until then, the standard will go through several development stages, but it will take approximately two to three years to reach the market after its launch. As the Wi-Fi 6 standard is not supported on most devices to this day despite its launch in 2019. For the average consumer, there is no reason to wait for this technology at the present time, as it is likely that most Internet users do not know which WiFi standard they are They are using now, in addition to that this technology is under development and will not reach our homes until after five years from now. In terms of speeds, WiFi 4 technologies started with a data transfer speed of six to 54 megabits, then WiFi 5 at a speed of 400 megabits to seven gigabits , and a coverage range of up to 80 meters in residential buildings, then WiFi 6, 6E technology that was launched in 2019, then followed by the version of WiFi 6E in 2020, which included a six-GHz band, with a data transfer speed of 9.6 gigabits, until WiFi was announced. 7 with a maximum speed of at least 46 Gigabits and up to 50 Gigabits.
