the Wi-Fi 6Ewhich makes it possible to operate a third frequency band at 6 GHz, is not that old but there is already talk of the arrival of the Wi-Fi 7 or WiFi 802.11be which doubles speeds, improves latency times and strengthens connection stability.
If the exploitation will really start from 2023 (and will become more mainstream in 2024), the major designers of wireless chips like MediaTek and Qualcomm have already announced their first commercial products.
The San Diego group even announced a solution Fast Connect 7800 which will make it possible to offer WiFi 7 in next-generation smartphones and tablets.
As for Intelalso involved in the design of WiFi solutions for laptops and desktop PCs, the introduction of the first compatible products should not take place before 2024.
WiFi 7 in PCs is for 2024
Eric McLaughlin, vice president in charge of wireless solutions at Intel, confirmed the schedule, indicating that certifications with the WiFi Alliance consortium are underway with a view to first PC equipment in 2024 and wider commercialization in 2025. .
Intel is in fact sticking to the official date of availability of the final 802.11be standard, scheduled for early 2024, while the other players are now marketing equipment using the preliminary versions of WiFi 7 and which can be updated later. .
This timing may possibly be accelerated depending on the state of progress of the standardization of the next evolution of WiFi. The Santa Clara firm is taking a calculated risk by letting other players make their WiFi 7 announcements upstream, but it can count on the dominance of its integrated solutions offered with its processors in the PC space (laptops and desktops).
