Wi-Fi 7, the next generation after Wi-Fi 6, brings significant advancements to wireless communication. It offers a data transmission speed about three times faster than its predecessor, ensuring smooth connectivity for activities like streaming high-resolution videos, virtual reality experiences, and remote work. Advanced features such as multi-link operation, multi-AP coordination, and coordinated scheduling between access points (APs) help reduce delays, improving real-time communication.

The transition to Wi-Fi 7 marks a new era of connectivity, bringing substantial benefits to wireless networks. In the ME&CA region, the upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 is expected to create a billion-dollar market opportunity for wireless campus networks. Huawei, as a pioneer in Wi-Fi 7 technology, is leading the way in this technological revolution.
