The next generation of Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT), focuses further on multiple enhancements that offer lower latency and higher reliability to support new use cases.
For the last 20 years, IEEE802.11/Wi-Fi networks have essentially been limited to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz unlicensed bands while at the same time Wi-Fi usage continued to grow. Regulators around the globe are allocating some or all of the 6 GHz band for unlicensed usage. Wi-Fi Alliance‑certified Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE802.11ax) products capable of 6 GHz operation are already available [3].
In this white paper, experts focus on explaining the technologies that enable the Wi-Fi 7, and the test and measurement challenges as well as relevant, leading-edge solutions.
