Home networks are the lifeline for consumers. Whether it for Hybrid work, streaming that important game, watching the broadcast of you lecture or even online binging of your favorite show. Having a stable home network is important. Statistics show how consumers value their Wi-Fi network.
According to the world Wi-Fi Alliance, as of 2022, there are more than 18 billion Wi-Fi devices in use worldwide. The Wi-Fi market size is estimated to be USD 16.16 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 31.38 billion by 2029. This growth represents a CAGR of 14.19% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
WiFi 7 offers speed, security and many enhancements
Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT), is the next-generation wireless standard that builds upon the foundation laid forth by Wi-Fi 6E. WiFi 7 offers significant improvements over its predecessor, WiFi 6, in terms of speed, capacity, and efficiency.
Wi-Fi 7 provides significantly higher data transfer rates compared to its predecessors. With a maximum channel bandwidth of 320 MHz and support for up to 16 spatial streams, it can deliver lightning-fast speeds for streaming, gaming, and large file downloads.
Wi-Fi 7 aims to minimize delays, making it ideal for real-time applications like video conferencing, online gaming, and IoT devices. Lower latency means quicker response times.
Wi-Fi 7 extends support to 6 GHz, doubles the channel bandwidth to 320 MHz, and increases the number of spatial streams to 16. The 6 GHz band, which Wi-Fi 7 utilizes, is less congested than the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This results in improved performance even in areas with many Wi-Fi devices.
