Experience Faster Connections With Wi-Fi 7: Here Are Its Key Features
With every new generation, Wi-Fi networks get better at tackling high-demand applications and high-density environments. With Wi-Fi 7, this remains the case. At its core are improvements to speed, latency and reliability. However, its real impact might just be clearest when it's used for augmented or virtual reality. The first Wi-Fi 7 routers were introduced in 2023, but they've become increasingly affordable over the past few months as the major router manufacturers launched their own Wi-Fi 7 lines. They also got a big bump when the latest iPhone 16 models were released with support for the new wireless standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance, a network of over 900 companies that develops and certifies Wi-Fi technology, officially launched its 'Wi-Fi 7 Certified' program in January 2024. Since then, devices like phones, laptops and routers have been eligible for its stamp of approval. The Wi-Fi 7 certification had been anticipated since as early as 2019 when Wi-Fi 6 was still brand new. You'll need both a Wi-Fi 7 router and a Wi-Fi 7 device to take advantage of those benefits, and both are becoming increasingly available, with the new iPhones marking a major step forward in Wi-Fi 7's reign. Like previous standards, Wi-Fi 7 is backward compatible, so a Wi-Fi 7 router will still work with a Wi-Fi 6 device, and vice versa. Maureen Gallagher, Vice President of Marketing at Wi-Fi Alliance, told CNET that she expects Wi-Fi 7 to have a major impact on things like AR/VR/XR, autonomous driving and network congestion. "Wi-Fi 7 helps users overcome congestion and interference in large or crowded venues -- like conferences or stadiums -- bringing improved user experiences in areas with densely packed devices or neighboring networks that overlap," she said. Locating local internet providers Routers from Asus, Eero, Neatgear and TP-Link have been using the Wi-Fi 7 label for over a year, but they're now getting the official Wi-Fi logo when they pass the Wi-Fi Alliance's certification tests. What is Wi-Fi 7? Wi-Fi 7 refers to the seventh generation of wireless technology, coming on the heels of Wi-Fi 6 (launched in 2019) and Wi-Fi 6E (2020). It's a collection of technology standards created by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers; the official IEEE standard for Wi-Fi 7 is 802.11be. The Wi-Fi Alliance officially launched Wi-Fi 7 in January 2024, followed by new routers, phones and laptops with the Wi-Fi 7 seal of approval. In order to take advantage of Wi-Fi 7 features, both your router and the device it's connecting to will require Wi-Fi 7 hardware. (You can find out if a device is certified Wi-Fi 7 on the alliance's product finder.) How does Wi-Fi 7 work? Wi-Fi 7 still uses the same three bands as Wi-Fi 6E: 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz. So why is Wi-Fi 7 such an improvement? It comes down to wider channels. Wi-Fi 7 doubles the channel size of the 6-GHz band, going from 160MHz to 320MHz. Think of it like a highway going from two to four lanes -- the amount of data that can be transmitted at once will be drastically increased. A typical Wi-Fi 7 laptop could reach a 'potential maximum' of 5.8Gbps -- 2.4 times faster than the 2.4Gbps possible with Wi-Fi 6/6E, according to Intel, one of the companies producing Wi-Fi 7 certified chipsets. The other significant step forward for Wi-Fi 7 is Multi-Link Operation (MLO). Wi-Fi 6 and 6E provided access to multiple bands, but devices could only connect to one band at a time. MLO allows Wi-Fi 7 devices to simultaneously connect on two bands. That results in faster speeds, but it also means improved reliability and ultra-low latency. Let's go back to the highway analogy. On older versions of Wi-Fi, cars could only travel in one lane at a time, moving to a different lane if there was a traffic jam. With MLO, cars will be able to travel across two highways at the same time, avoiding the slowdowns that come with traffic jams. The Wi-Fi Alliance Do I need new equipment to use Wi-Fi 7? You'll need two devices to take advantage of these benefits: a Wi-Fi 7 router and a Wi-Fi 7 device to connect to it. Fortunately, Wi-Fi 7 is fully backward compatible, so you'll be able to use your older devices with a Wi-Fi 7 router, or a Wi-Fi 7 phone with a Wi-Fi 6 router -- you just won't reap the Wi-Fi 7 benefits. When will Wi-Fi 7 be available? There are dozens of Wi-Fi 7 routers currently available, and new devices like phones, laptops, and smart home gadgets are increasingly equipped with Wi-Fi 7. The Wi-Fi Alliance predicted that 233 million Wi-Fi 7 devices will enter the market in 2024 and grow to 2.1 billion devices by 2028. That doesn't mean you need to run out and replace your router immediately. Devices like phones, laptops and gaming systems with Wi-Fi 7 aren't quite the norm yet. That has started to change with Apple's latest iPhone 16 release. Companies like Broadcom, Intel, MediaTek and Qualcomm have also begun producing Wi-Fi 7-certified chipsets, which the Wi-Fi Alliance has used as a test bed for certification. There is typically about a year or two gap between the certification announcement and devices becoming widely available, so we should start to see more Wi-Fi 7 phones, laptops and other devices next year. The Era of Wi-Fi 7 FAQs What is Wi-Fi 7? Wi-Fi 7 is the next generation of Wi-Fi technology, the seventh generation of wireless technology. The Wi-Fi Alliance officially launched Wi-Fi 7 in January 2024, which prompted new routers, phones and laptops to have the Wi-Fi 7 seal of approval. It's important to note that your router and device must be certified for Wi-Fi 7 to take advantage of this technology. To learn more, check if your device is certified for Wi-Fi 7. ...Read more Is Wi-Fi 7 better than Wi-Fi 6? When paired with a compatible router and device, Wi-Fi 7 features faster speeds, improved latency, reliability and the increased ability to handle multiple devices simultaneously compared to Wi-Fi 6. ...Read more

Strong opportunities, but India will take time to be a chip hub: MediaTek executive
New Delhi: Scarcity of skilled workers could delay India's rise as a global semiconductor manufacturing hub, said a top executive at Taiwanese chipmaker the complexity and time involved in setting up semiconductor facilities, MediaTek said it typically takes four years from groundbreaking to mass production—even in the US which has an established workforce.'For India, where the workforce in the semiconductor manufacturing industry is still relatively new, it might take longer,' David Ku, co-COO, and CFO, MediaTek told reporters on comments come in the midst of India's push to emerge as a chip manufacturing powerhouse, with six chip fabrication facilities approved so far. The latest is a joint venture between HCL and Taiwan's Foxconn, in Uttar Pradesh. 'India's semiconductor strategy has historically emphasized chip design, where we've successfully captured a significant portion of the global talent pool. However, our focus on the hardware and manufacturing side has been limited,' said Tarun Pathak, a senior analyst at Counterpoint Research. 'Now, as we actively push for fabs and semiconductor manufacturing within India, we're working to bridge this gap. This will take time because there's a substantial skill mismatch between academia and industry,' Pathak said. He added that even if India begins training at the university level today, it could take 5-10 years to cultivate the necessary real-world hardware expertise. 'Alternatively, we can accelerate this process by attracting talent from other countries to facilitate knowledge transfer. We're already seeing this happen, and companies like MediaTek can play a crucial role in this endeavor,' Pathak said. MediaTek sees India as a front end for software development—which comprise a major part of its operations in the country. 'On the software side, we have been very aggressive in training the Indian workforce, driven by the availability of skilled talent,' Ku said. Mediatek also sees strong opportunities following the Indian government delicensing the lower portion of the 6GHz band for WiFi services. Thomas Ho, marketing director, MediaTek, said the development will catapult the launch and deployment of WiFi 7, which offers far faster speeds than previous generations, in India. 'The adoption of WiFi 7 in India depends heavily on the device ecosystem and the pervasiveness of high-speed connectivity, like gigabit connections, which are not very widespread…For many subscribers in India, the current speeds are around 30 Mbps, for which WiFi 6 is sufficient,' Ho said. Telecom operators see WiFi 7 as a way to boost average revenue per user (ARPU), add more services, and position themselves as technology leaders. In satellite connectivity, which is starting to take off in India, MediaTek said it is working on customer premises equipment (CPEs) such as hybrid set-top boxes catering to both terrestrial and satellite requirements. A supplier to Elon Musk-owned Starlink, MediaTek said the converged technology is ready, but the costs of deployment are high. 'Whether operators deploy such devices depends on the operator's strategy…There are already talks in other regions of the world about using satellite or 5G as a backup when wired broadband is unavailable…A one-box solution is possible,' Ho said. MediaTek sees the future where with 6G connectivity, a consumer will not know whether the communication signal is coming from a terrestrial network or a satellite network, adding that the convergence between the two will be a major opportunity, considering them as the 'two main trunks of connectivity.'
