Although the current standard is Wi-Fi 6E, companies are already developing the next generation of this connection.
And MediaTek promises to be one of the first to showcase the supersonic speed of its Wi-Fi 7 at the next CES in January 2022.
Wi-Fi 7 2.4x faster than Wi-Fi 6
While Wi-Fi 6E is still in rollout mode on most electronic devices, companies are already developing the next generation of this connection. And MediaTek seems to be at the forefront as it prepares to unveil its Wi-Fi 7 at the next CES in Las Vegas early next year.
According to James Chen, the company’s vice president of marketing, Wi-Fi 7 will be 2.4 times faster than the Wi-Fi 6 and 6E standards currently available in the market.
But there is better. According to the same person in charge, the new connection pattern also offers much lower latency. This fact is especially important in the field of video games, which often require extraordinary speed in a multiplayer game.
James Chen also noted that Wi-Fi 7 is less vulnerable to signal interference in outdoor scenarios.
Wi-Fi 7 won’t reach users until 2023
MediaTek brings great news on the stability and speed of the upcoming Wi-Fi 7 standard, but when it comes to technology accessibility, the news isn’t the best.
James Chen clarified that although MediaTek will present this technology in the next CES edition, it is still in its early stages of development. For this reason, the launch of the new standard can only take place in the second quarter of 2022. If the information is confirmed, it means that the new technology will only reach users in 2023.
