The IEEE 802.11 working group announced the final specifications for 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), preparing for its commercial applications to commence that year. The transition of Wi-Fi from shared frequencies of Wi-Fi 6’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz to Wi-Fi 7’s simultaneous transmission on 2.4/5/6GHz frequencies will significantly enhance signal transmission efficiency. The Wi-Fi Alliance anticipates that the global Wi-Fi market’s total value will touch US$4.9 trillion by 2025.

Semiconductor, networking, and test manufacturers worldwide have initiated the launch of related products in the early developmental stages of Wi-Fi 7, intending to secure a global market foothold. The low latency and minimal interference of Wi-Fi 7 signals will facilitate fully immersive experiences in VR, AR, and the Metaverse.
