A quick review on WiFi Standards

A quick review on WiFi Standards

We’ve come a long way quickly — is wireless the way to go in every case? Does it still make sense to employ structured cabling in homes or offices? Especially given all that WiFi can do speed-wise.

There is still certainly a solid benefit to structured cabling — wireless isn’t perfect for all use-cases, and for certain construction techniques cabling is very necessary — but for 99% of consumers at home, WiFi really can solve most problems, especially when mixed with Meshed Systems and distributed APs.

Here’s a concise comparison of Wi-Fi 6, 6E, and 7:

* Wi-Fi 6 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz ~9.6 Gbps OFDMA, MU-MIMO, TWT for better efficiency and device handling

* Wi-Fi 6E 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz & 6 GHz ~9.6 Gbps OFDMA, MU-MIMO, TWT plus access to 6 GHz for more bandwidth

* Wi-Fi 7 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz & 6 GHz ~46 Gbps Wider channels (up to 320 MHz), 4K-QAM, Multi-Link Operation (MLO)

Wi-Fi 7 is a major leap in speed and efficiency, especially for high-density or latency-sensitive applications.
