Wireless Networking

The Wi-Fi Alliance has released a new version of its wireless technology, boasting new features designed to boost performance and improve connectivity across a variety of environments.

Wi-Fi 7 will bring cutting-edge capabilities to applications that require high throughput, lower latency, and greater reliability, and applications that tap into technologies such as augmented, virtual, and extended reality, immersive 3D training, and ultra-high definition video streaming.
