"Wi-Fi 7: The Next Generation of Lightning-Fast Connectivity"

The Wi-Fi Alliance has certified the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, 802.11be, promising speeds of almost 5.8 Gbps, thanks to features like increased channel bandwidth, 4K QAM, MLO, improved latency, and MU-MIMO enhancement. While backward compatible, older devices won't fully benefit from its new features. Wi-Fi 7 is ideal for 8K movies, AR/VR gaming, and smart home devices, but its short wavelengths may limit long-range performance. Some Wi-Fi 7 routers are already available, but they come with a hefty price tag, and it's advisable for most people to wait until more devices support Wi-Fi 7 and prices come down.

"MaxLinear Unveils Wi-Fi 7 Chip Solutions with Near-Zero Latency and Tri-Band Access Point"

The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced the launch of Wi-Fi 7 Certified products, offering "near-zero" latency for real-time applications such as wireless VR streaming. Wi-Fi 7, also known as 802.11.be, introduces features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and Simultaneous Transmission and Reception (STR) to support near-zero latency, benefiting wireless VR by allowing devices to connect to multiple bands simultaneously for increased throughput and reliability. While this promises significant improvements, it's important to note that Wi-Fi transmission latency is just one part of the overall latency pipeline for VR, which includes rendering, encoding, decoding, and device-dependent latency.
