WiFi7 the next generation of wireless with Bruno Tomas - Part 1 | The Tech Between Us s3 e12
Description
No matter where you look, humans seek speed, fast cars, instant messages, bullet trains. It's certainly true with our technology. As predicted by Moore's Law, we've witnessed technology advances at unprecedented pace and the rise of fast, smart, connected devices. The connectivity part of this equation though has perhaps been the weakest link. It has not kept pace as the rest of the technology and while we've come to expect device connectivity wherever we are, that's not always what we experience. WiFi, the platform that promises always on high-speed connectivity in our homes, in the workplace, in coffee shops, retail, airports, and even in flight continues to advance, yet still has some way to go.
The reality is today's connectivity can often be frustrating with patchy network performance, too many users trying to connect at the same time and users forced to wait for a connection or experience content buffering. Well, that could all be about to change, enter the savior of wifi connectivity, wifi seven, the latest standard in connectivity and what some are calling a quantum leap forward from wifi six with its promise of nearly five times speed, improved latency and reliability and projected launch as early as 2024. Is this the connectivity we've all been waiting for?
By now, some of you may have guessed this is not Raymond Yin. No, I'm Mark Patrick and I lead Mouser’s technical marketing team in Europe, and I'll be your host for this discussion about wifi seven. Welcome to the tech between us.
With me today is Bruno Tomas, CTO for the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA). Welcome to the Tech Between Us.
