The best mesh routers and Wi-Fi routers will soon support Wi-Fi 7, the upcoming wireless standard. Its predecessor, Wi-Fi 6E, has just recently begun to take off, mostly as a result of how much power consumers were amazed by its ability to transmit wireless data at speeds of more than 2 gigabits per second (Gbps).
WiFi 7 includes a number of characteristics that potentially revolutionise communication, including IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT), a WiFi standard that can give high speed internet, low latency, and more robust connections than its predecessors. It has multi-link functionality, allowing it to more effectively utilise the three frequency bands.
The Global Wi-Fi 7 chips market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In addition to the BCM4398 Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5 combo chip for mobile devices with up to 6.05 Gbps PHY rate, Broadcom has now unveiled four WiFi 7 chips for access points with the BCM67263, BCM6726, BCM43740, and BCM43720 up to 11.5 Gbps PHY rate.
While such solutions would more than double the speed of current Wi-Fi 6/6E solutions while also delivering lower latency and expanding range, we have not yet reached the theoretical 40+ Gbps PHY rate for WiFi 7.These gadgets are designed to work with business Wi-Fi access points.
The -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range and the absence of the TKIP security protocol in enterprise chips are the only distinctions I can identify between residential and enterprise chips. None of those chips are entire SoCs; rather, they would be coupled to a processor, such as the quad-core Armv8 B53 CPU from Broadcom (BCM4916), through a PCIe link.
