Discover the advantages of the new Wi-Fi 7 standard

The ever-increasing demand for local wireless network capacity is causing manufacturers affiliated with international organizations to launch new versions of Wi-Fi every few years. New, 7. generation, offers higher throughput and intelligent use of the radio medium.

WiFi 7 what is it?

What it is WiFi 7 what it is means? Wi-Fi 7 is the conventional, user-friendly name for a range of technologies that make up the next generation of wireless local area networking. The new standard, has been designated 802.11be by the IEEE. Its specification is expected to be finalized and launched in 2024., but already today leading equipment suppliers, and that includes AVM, are presenting the first compatible devices.

Advantages of WiFi 7

What the new wiFi 7 standard what's new will bring? First of all, it is intended to allow transmission speeds approaching 30 or even 50 Gbps. To do this, a third band at 6 GHz will be added to the currently used 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Higher transfers will also be achieved thanks to an increase in radio channel width to 320 MHz and the use of 4KQAM modulation.

However, on this advantages of WiFi 7 don't stop. The new generation of wireless networks will intelligently, and therefore optimally, use the radio frequencies available at a given place and time, and do so within a single transmission. This means, for example, that streamed high-definition video with multi-track surround sound, will be transmitted - depending on the current availability of the radio medium - simultaneously in part in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, which, in aggregate, will achieve a maximum speed of.

FRITZ!Box with Wi-Fi 7 already on the horizon

At the recent MWC show in Barcelona, AVM unveiled new wifi routers, among other things, the first in its range wiFi router 7: FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro for high-speed fiber and DSL connections.
