Leading telecommunications solutions provider Heights Telecom recently released its in-depth whitepaper Wi-Fi 7: Unlocking a New Era of Wireless Connectivity. The paper delves into the transformative potential of Wi-Fi 7, the latest generation of wireless networking technology.
While still in its early stages of adoption, Wi-Fi 7 stands poised to redefine wireless connectivity standards. Its significantly increased speed, reduced latency and enhanced network capacity promise unparalleled performance gains for consumers and businesses alike.
Heights Telecom’s whitepaper explores the technical aspects of Wi-Fi 7 but also examines its far-reaching implications. Here are the key benefits of Wi-Fi 7, as laid out by the whitepaper.
The need for speed
Increased network speed is one of the key features and primary improvements offered by Wi-Fi 7. This latest iteration of wireless technology provides the faster network speeds that both businesses and consumers have been searching for. Wi-Fi 7 products are expected to have a maximum speed of 46 Gbps, approximately 4.8x the speed of Wi-Fi 6.
A stable connection
In the age of remote work, consumers’ home Wi-Fi networks have to support more devices and network traffic than ever before. As a result, the need for a stable and reliable Wi-Fi connection where end users can efficiently access all the resources they require is paramount. As Wi-fi 7 products operate in a greater bandwidth than previous wireless technologies – doubling the existing bandwidth to 320 MHz – they can allow more devices to be supported across the network.
Enhanced security measures
In an era defined by digital connectivity, cybersecurity now stands out as a crucial concern. As connectivity solutions become increasingly ingrained in the fabric of everyday life – particularly amid the growth of ‘the smart home’ – connected devices will be increasingly at risk. The rise of Wi-Fi 7 looks to address these challenges, providing a seamless connection while also fortifying the security infrastructure – offering users peace of mind in an increasingly connected world.
Reliable low-latency performance
The growth of services such as augmented reality and interactive gaming is driving the need for increasingly robust performance among connectivity services. The emergence of Wi-Fi 7 offers a beacon of opportunity for CSPs. With its low-latency performance, Wi-Fi 7 provides minimised delays and rapid data transmission to create a high-quality connectivity experience.
Connecting smart homes
For smart home ecosystems, Wi-Fi 7 is a game-changer. Its low latency and robust connectivity seamlessly manage the ever-growing number of connected devices, from smart speakers and thermostats to security systems and wearables. Imagine a truly responsive smart home, where devices anticipate your needs and function flawlessly in perfect harmony.
Unleashing productivity and efficiency with organisational benefits
While Wi-Fi 7 boasts impressive technical feats like Multi-Link Operation and low latency, its true power lies in unlocking organisational benefits. Picture employees collaborating seamlessly through flawless video conferences and file sharing, unhindered by lag. Imagine a future-proofed infrastructure handling the inevitable rise of data-hungry applications and connected devices.
“The telecoms industry is on the cusp of a revolution, and Wi-Fi 7 is the catalyst, as a company committed to staying ahead of the technology curve, we understand the importance of building expertise in this cutting-edge standard,” says Christian Gabetta, Managing Director of Heights Telecom. “This whitepaper aims to serve as a valuable tool for our customers with a clear understanding of how Wi-Fi 7 will reshape the way we connect, work, and interact online.”
