In the digital era, as wireless networks continue to evolve, WIFI technology, one of our primary means of daily connectivity, is also undergoing constant upgrades. Over the past few years, WIFI5 has been the preferred standard for many users, providing us with reliable wireless connections. However, WIFI6 has now emerged, introducing a range of new features and being hailed as "High Efficiency WIFI." Let's delve into the differences between WIFI6 and WIFI5, explore the advantages brought by this new technology, and consider the position of WIFI5 in this technological evolution. Compared to the currently prevalent WIFI5 technology, WIFI6 demonstrates superior performance in multiple aspects. WIFI6 not only boasts faster speeds, support for more concurrent devices, and lower latency but also operates with greater energy efficiency. It adopts ...

On January 8, 2024, the WiFi Alliance announced the device certification for WiFi 7, marked by the launch of WIFI CERTIFIED 7. This signifies the advent of the latest generation of wireless connectivity technology and is expected to accelerate the widespread adoption of WiFi 7. According to the "China WiFi IoT Industry Research Report (2023)," starting from 2023, the WiFi market is projected to witness the coexistence of products based on multiple standards, including WIFI 4/5/6/7, over the next five years. WiFi 7, in particular, is anticipated to experience rapid growth between 2023 and 2024, emerging as a key driver of WiFi market expansion in the next five years. By 2027, it is estimated that the shipment volume of WiFi 7 products will increase by nearly 20%. The rise of WiFi 7 heralds a new phase in wireless connectivity technology, pro...

Starting from 2023, wireless terminal devices, aside from smartphones, have gradually upgraded to WIFI 6/6E. Devices based on 802.11ax technology can further meet user expectations for superior performance and coverage in the new generation Wi-Fi standard.Users typically focus on the throughput of WIFI modules, and upon receiving samples, they often conduct throughput tests on the modules. In a previous discussion, we introduced the throughput testing of the O2066PM WIFI 6E module in a Linux environment. This article will further test its throughput in a Windows environment.WIFI throughput refers to the actual maximum speed supported by WIFI devices (AP/STA) on the uplink and downlink links. It is a type of stress test that closely resembles real-world usage scenarios, especially as products become increasingly wireless, and wired Ethernet port de...

In the digital era, wireless communication has become an indispensable part of our lives. With the advent of Wi-Fi 7, we usher in a new era of wireless connectivity. The upgrade to this standard completely revolutionizes our expectations for speed, efficiency, and connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 represents the next generation of Wi-Fi standards, corresponding to the upcoming release of the new revision standard IEEE 802.11be – Extremely High Throughput (EHT). Building upon Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7 introduces technologies such as 320MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM, Multi-RU, multi-link operation, enhanced MU-MIMO, and multi-AP coordination. These advancements enable Wi-Fi 7 to provide higher data transfer rates and lower latency compared to Wi-Fi 6. The theoretical throughput of Wi-Fi 7 is expected to support up to 46Gbps, roughly more than four times that of Wi-F...
