Remember the mad dash to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6? Or the even more recent hype surrounding Wi-Fi 6E? If you felt left behind in the upgrade frenzy, fret no more. Here’s a little secret: Wi-Fi 7 is right around the corner, and it promises to be a game changer for your network.
The latest Wi-Fi 7 not only promises the same high-speed, secure, and reliable connectivity as Wi-Fi 6E but also enhances these features further. Wi-Fi 7 outperforms Wi-Fi 6E many times over. It is more than four times faster than its predecessor and is simply better in every way. Wi-Fi 7 uses wider channels, packs more information into every transmission, and accommodates more streams than Wi-Fi 6E.
This is the reason enterprises looking to upgrade their connectivity should go straight to Wi-Fi 7. Switching to Wi-Fi 7, like the RUCKUS® Wi-Fi 7 AP family, yields the following compelling benefits:
- Ultra-fast throughput. Wi-Fi 7 enables blazing-fast Internet speeds. In theory, it can deliver 46.1 Gbps; but, with no commercially available APs with 16 spatial streams yet, Wi-Fi 7 realistically can deliver speeds of up to 23 Gbps.
- Rock-solid network reliability. Reliability is crucial to ensure data is transmitted without interruptions or failures. Wi-Fi 7 enables this via multi-link operation where it utilises multiple links for link redundancy. Data is rerouted to available links when one or two experience congestion or interference.
- Advanced security. Wi-Fi 7 builds upon Wi-Fi® Protected Access 3 WPA3TM, introduced by Wi-Fi 6, and incorporates powerful encryption algorithms to keep data confidential. Wi-Fi 7 also deploys Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to prevent attackers from attempting to guess the network’s preshared key and fortify security.
Backwards compatibility won’t be an issue either. Wi-Fi 7 is fully compatible with existing Wi-Fi 6E phones, tablets, and laptops, which means they won’t have any problems leveraging Wi-Fi® at 6GHz. Wi-Fi 7 devices are soon to arrive as well, and these will be able to take full advantage of Wi-Fi 7’s massive performance upgrades over its predecessor.
Put simply, Wi-Fi 7 is now the right choice—and it is most true in verticals where fast, reliable connectivity is directly tied to customer satisfaction. These include hospitality, multi-dwelling unit industries, large public venues, and educational institutions. An even better choice would be the RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 AP family, which was recently chosen by the Wi-Fi Alliance® for its Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7™ interoperability certification test bed.
The only commercial access point in the Wi-Fi Alliance® test bed to deliver unmatched interoperability for the platform across Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 devices, the RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 AP family represents the next frontier in Wi-Fi device performance, providing blazing-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and increased capacity to deliver exceptional user experiences regardless of the environment.
So, don’t worry if you missed out on Wi-Fi 6E. Skip it altogether and invest instead in Wi-Fi 7 to future-proof your network.
