Wi-Fi 7

Overview of the IEEE 802.11be standard, information on features and benefits of Wi-Fi 7, technical specification, and implementation guidelines.

Wi-Fi 7 builds on previous generations supporting the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands based on IEEE 802.11be. Wi-Fi 7 brings Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to Wi-Fi for the first time enabling devices to communicate on multiple links to the same AP. Additionally, Wi-Fi 7 improves speed with higher order MCS rates (4096-QAM) and latency with QoS features like restricted Target Wake Time (r-TWT), Stream Classification Service (SCS), and Triggered Uplink Access (TUA). Wi-Fi 7 comes with additional baseline security requirements of GCMP-256 and Beacon Protection.
