Miscellaneous / / January 20, 2022
It will speed up data transfer by 2.4 times compared to Wi-Fi 6.
Demonstrated by the company MediaTek, which develops processors for smartphones and other semiconductor equipment. Wi-Fi 7 will allow you to stream video in 8K resolution, run multiplayer games in augmented and virtual reality, communicate online in 4K video chats, said the head of Intelligent Connectivity and corporate vice president Alan Hsu.
MediaTek tested Wi-Fi 7 data transmission using Filogic technology at maximum speed, certain IEEE 802.11be standard - 40 Gb / s. The nominal bandwidth of Wi-Fi 7 is even higher - 46 Gb / s.
Wi-Fi 7 provides data transmission in three frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. Compared to Wi-Fi 6, its data bandwidth has doubled to 320 MHz.
MLO technology helps Wi-Fi 7 reduce data transmission delays. It combines multiple channels in different bands to stabilize network throughput even if it experiences interference or congestion. MLO will provide low ping in multiplayer games, comfortable cloud gaming, real-time information exchange with smart cars and IoT devices.
In addition, Wi-Fi 7 supports Multi-User Resource Unit (MRU) functions to reduce interference and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4K-QAM) technology. All this in the future will make it possible to abandon cable networks in buildings, as well as launch large-scale projects like smart cities. The first devices with Wi-fi 7 will hit the market in 2023.

For 10 years in IT, I tried a lot: I worked as a system administrator and tester, I wrote in a dozen different languages programming, led the computer department of the editorial office of a printed newspaper and led news feeds high-tech portals. I can patch KDE2 for FreeBSD - and tell you in detail about all the nuances of this process. I dream about homemade R2-D2 and space flight.
