Intel Wi-Fi 7 demo: speed over 5GbpsPreline 2024 for notebooks and other products
CTOnews.com Sept. 9, Intel announced today that they have teamed up with Broadcom to achieve an important Wi-Fi 7 industry milestone, "with the world's first cross-vendor Wi-Fi 7 demonstration, the wireless future has come."
According to reports, the Wi-Fi 7 cross-vendor demonstration is faster than 5Gbps, based on core notebook computers + Broadcom Wi-Fi 7 access points.
"Today's milestone sends a clear message: the ecosystem is ready, and Wi-Fi 7 will bring extraordinary capacity and amazing speed here to further expand gigabit broadband," said Vijay Nagarajan, vice president of wireless connectivity at Broadcom.
Intel says Wi-Fi 7 can bring higher speed, lower latency, higher reliability, and greater capacity, including the use of 320MHz channel bandwidth in unauthorized 6GHz spectrum (speed doubles), 4K QAM quadrature amplitude modulation (20% speed increase), multilink operation MLO (improved throughput, link robustness, roaming, interference mitigation and reduced latency) And improve channel utilization through multi-resource unit (MRU) and drilling.
CTOnews.com reminded that the Wi-Fi 7 standard has not yet been finalized and that its product plan is only a semi-finished product scheme based on the functions defined in the amendment to the IEEE P802.11be draft. It is said that Intel plans to launch Wi-Fi 7 certified products in accordance with the Wi-Fi Alliance certification schedule (2023-2024 time frame).
In August, Intel mentioned developing Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) chips, which will be installed on laptops and other PC products in 2024 and become mainstream in 2025, in order to obtain alliance certification as soon as possible.
