We have upgraded our access points and started to broadcast WiFi 7 at 6-GHz now.
WiFi 6 used to be only available in the lounge area before, but now WiFi 6 and 7 can be reached all around West Quay Offices with the new upgraded access points.
WiFi 7 should also be a lot smarter than previous standards, thanks to a feature called multilink operation. This allows wireless devices to send and receive data over three bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz), shifting at any time based on traffic and speed. It also offers low latency and reliability, which is less of a headache for all of us.
Now let’s say you have an important Zoom call for work and it’s just about to start. With WiFi 7, our router will be able to determine which of the three bands is the least crowded and direct your Zoom call to that band—without you having to do anything on your own—making for a smoother and more stable experience. This capability, part of the Wi-Fi 7 standard, enhances overall wireless performance by optimizing connections based on current network conditions, ensuring minimal interference and maximum speed for each device connected to our network. This means your video and audio will remain clear and uninterrupted, allowing you to focus on your meeting without worrying about connectivity issues. Whether you are sharing presentations, collaborating on projects, or engaging in discussions, enjoy the confidence that you are supported by cutting-edge technology designed for seamless communication and efficient data handling.
To fully reap the benefits of WiFi 7, you need devices that are fully compatible with the standard, and those are slowly making their way into the marketplace. The devices you already own will “top out” at WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, or whatever version of WiFi they’re certified for. This means that while your current equipment may not utilize the enhanced speeds and improved performance of WiFi 7, the new devices being released are designed to harness these advancements. As the compatibility landscape evolves, consumers can look forward to experiencing the full potential of WiFi 7 in terms of speed, connectivity, and efficiency, especially in environments that demand high bandwidth for multiple users and devices.
For the latest updates and lists of WiFi 7 compatible devices, you can refer to resources such as TechieTechTech and The Verge, which provide comprehensive overviews on available products and their features.
