Wi-Fi 7 Standard
The IEEE 802.11be standard (Wi-Fi 7) is the latest Wi-Fi technical standard currently available, encompassing core enhanced features such as 4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4096-QAM), Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Enhanced Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and preamble puncturing technology that supports a 320 MHz channel width.
Wi-Fi 6E is a core technical "extension" of Wi-Fi 6 to the 6 GHz frequency band, while Wi-Fi 7 represents a technical evolution and upgrade of Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 6E — it builds on Wi-Fi 6E by adding and enhancing core functions including support for 320 MHz wide channels, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), and 4096-QAM (4K-QAM) modulation technology. These improvements can significantly boost data transmission rates and connection stability, making it particularly suitable for application scenarios with stringent low-latency requirements, such as AR and VR.
