Wifi 7: New features and specifications
The WiFi Alliance, the organization that regulates WiFi systems, has announced at CES 2024, one of the most important technology fairs in the world, the official release of Wi-Fi 7 and all of its new features and specifications.
Wi-Fi 7 will be the next standard for all current devices and is expected to make a big difference in speed and bandwidth.

New features and specifications
The main new features and functionalities of Wi-Fi 7 are:
4K QAM
Transmission speeds 20% higher than in previous versions can be reached. Thanks to its 4096-QAM modulation, it will be possible to transfer up to 12 bits.
320 MHz Channels
The bandwidth and amplitude of the channels is increased up to 320MHz. The more bandwidth available, the more data can be shared and the faster the browsing will be.
Multi-Link Operation (MLO)
Devices will be able to transmit and receive data simultaneously over multiple links to reduce latency and increase throughput, providing a more stable connection.
Multiple RU to a single STA
It will be possible to assign multiple resource units to a single user, improving data transfer.
Uplink access enabled
Wi-Fi 6 defined link access will be optimized to accommodate latency-sensitive transmissions to satisfy QoS requirements.

Although we will still have to wait to see its live operation, the arrival of Wi-Fi 7 promises to improve 4K/8K content display and reduce even more latency in video game streaming, VR and AR.
