Wi-Fi 7 Finally Goes Official, Here is Everything You Need to Know

wccftech.com:

Wi-Fi Alliance has finally announced the Wi-Fi 7 Ready certification, and it is now available to all the supported devices. The new standard is an upgrade over the already available Wi-Fi 6E standard, and based on the information we have, the new standard has been in development since 2021. This indicates that the new update is definitely going to be worth it for all the supported devices.

The Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) is now available for several devices, and going forward, we are going to see it on a number of devices, including laptops, desktops, tablets, TVs, as well as smartphones and routers. The first mainstream smartphone with the latest standards is going to be the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is going to go official in a week's time.

Talking about the specs, the Wi-Fi 7 offers 46Gbps of throughput compared to the 9.6Gbps of its predecessor. The new standard operates on 2.5GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz data bands. In addition to that, if you do have the device and the router that are both running the same standard, you would actually experience less congestion, higher speeds, and reliable connectivity. Here is some more information that you can use.

Again, it is going to take time before the Wi-Fi 7 standard is rolled out globally to all modern devices. We are going to start seeing more and more devices with the latest standard in the coming months. Here is what Kevin Robinson, Wi-Fi Alliance CEO, has to say about the latest standard, “The introduction of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 marks the emergence of the latest generation of Wi-Fi and will be an accelerant to mass adoption of Wi-Fi 7. This certification underscores our relentless commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology that redefines the way users experience Wi-Fi,
