MediaTek's demonstration shows how its Wi-Fi7 Filogic technology reaches the highest speed defined by IEEE82.11 be and its MLO technology. MLO technology can aggregate multiple channels at the same time in different frequency bands to highlight network traffic, even if there is interference and congestion. MLO technology is very important to provide faster and more reliable video streaming, games and anything that needs continuous, continuous and real-time throughput. Products with Wi-Fi7 are expected to be available in 223.
the arrival of wifi 7 technology
WiFi7 (wifi 7) is the future Wi-Fi, also known as IEEE82.11 be, which has super high data throughput (EHT). Wi-Fi7 adopts 32 MHz frequency bandwidth, 496 quadrature amplitude modulation, multi-resource unit RU, and multi-link operation MLO to enhance multi-person multiplexing. MU-MIMO (MU-MIMO) works in cooperation with AP (Multiplexing Access Access, AP. With the help of this cutting-edge technology, Wi-Fi7 can provide higher data transmission speed and smaller time delay than Wi-Fi6. Wi-Fi7 is expected to provide a transmission rate of 3 Gbps, which is about three times that of Wi-Fi6.
at first, the industry predicted that WiFi7 technology might appear in 223, and MediaTek launched WiFi7 technology this time, that is to say, the appearance of WiFi7 technology basically met expectations.
the highlight of mediatek
MediaTek's appearance showed us how its Wi-Fi7 Filogic technology reached the highest speed stipulated by IEEE 82.11 be and its multi-link operation technology. MLO technology can concentrate multiple channels on multiple frequency bands, thus ensuring smooth data transmission even if there is interference or congestion. MLO technology is very critical in providing video streaming, games and other situations that require continuous, continuous and real-time traffic.
the characteristic of MediaTek Wi-fi7 technology this time is that it provides all available spectrum including 2.4 GHz,5 GHz and 6 GHz. Wi-fi7 is 2.4 times faster than Wi-Fi6, even though the number of antennas is the same, because Wi-Fi7 can use 32 Mhz channels and support 4 K quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) technology. Other obvious functions of Wi-Fi7 include MLO, which transmits Wi-Fi through multiple frequency bands to reduce delay, and MRU function to enhance interference avoidance and mitigation.
the impact of wifi 7 technology
MarioMorales, vice president of IDC Group, said, "Faster broadband Internet access, higher resolution video streaming and VR games are all promoting Wi-fi6, wifi 6 E and the upcoming Wi-fi7. "The progress of Wi-Fi7 in new functions such as channel width, QAM and MLO will make Wi-Fi7 attract devices, including high-end smartphones, personal computers, consumer devices, and retail and industrial fields.
with the upgrading of smart home, industrial intelligent manufacturing and consumer industry technology, WiFi7 in the future will have a far-reaching impact on smart home, 4K/8K ultra-high definition video experience, large throughput data transmission of industrial LAN, VR/AR virtual reality experience and even the currently unreachable meta-universe.
WiFi7 technology won't be the only one
according to the available data, MediaTek is not the only company and group studying WiFi7 at present. Huawei, the most proud company in China, is also working hard to study WiFi7 technology, overcome difficulties and apply for patents. Huawei currently has the most patents on WiFi7 technology. Qualcomm and Intel companies abroad are also optimizing the progress and speeding up the research and development.
Look at Wif7 technology rationally
Because of the large span between Wif7 technical standard and WiFi6 technical standard, and the launch of 5G equipment in China is in full swing now, the author thinks that Huawei and other companies can release Wif7 technology as scheduled in 222, but if they really want to obtain the technical conditions of Wif7, they should be fully realized within one or two years, but it will take some time for the consumer level (civil level).
WiFi6 and WiFi6E technology can meet the needs of home users at present, but upgrading WiFi7 is not simply a matter of changing a router. We need to have a wired network that can reach at least half of the WiFi7 network bandwidth, replace the WiFi7 router, and have WiFi7 wireless standards for mobile phones, PCs and smart homes such as 8k TV VR devices at home, so that we can build a WiFi7 network environment. But for consumer users, such a fee is undoubtedly huge.
At this stage, with the hot concept of "Meta-Universe", game companies, equipment manufacturers and technology companies all carry out relevant research without exception. "Full of blood" WiFi7 may still be some time away from the public, and some people will say that such a high speed and such a large bandwidth are not needed by ordinary people at all. The author believes that technology is innocent and technological innovation will inevitably promote the progress of human society. We should be optimistic about technology.
