n the ever-changing world of tech, we\u2019re always looking forward. So, what\u2019s next after Wi-Fi 6? The answer is 802.11be, which will likely become known as Wi-Fi 7.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
802.11be will probably be Wi-Fi 7<\/strong><\/h3>\nA series of updates to the Wi-Fi standards was termed\u00a0Extremely High Throughput (EHT), and then became known as 802.11be. These changes include better transfer speeds\u2014up to\u00a030 gigabits per second\u00a0(four times the speeds that Wi-Fi 6 can reach)\u2014and will provide improved video streaming, better range, and improvements to congestion, according to\u00a0CNET<\/em>. As the name suggests, higher throughput is a big priority for developers of the new Wi-Fi standard.<\/p>\nBut 802.11be is now simply a series of upgrades that will be made to existing Wi-Fi 6\u2014it will most likely not become the full-fledged \u201cWi-Fi 7\u201d until 2024. In fact, the Wi-Fi Alliance, which created the naming conventions for recent standards (Wi-Fi 4 [802.11n], 5 [802.11ac], and 6), hasn\u2019t yet committed to calling 802.11be Wi-Fi 7.<\/p>\n
But those in the Wi-Fi realm expect that this iteration will be the one getting the name.<\/p>\n

What will change in Wi-Fi 7?<\/strong><\/h3>\nFirst up in the series of changes to Wi-Fi 6 will be greater capacity, followed by speed updates in 2022. Then, in 2024, a host of updates is expected to bring out the complete version of 802.11be.<\/p>\n
The capacity updates are likely coming because both the U.S. and Europe will be releasing a new radio frequency band: 6GHz. This band will only be accessible to devices using Wi-Fi 6 and later. The newer Wi-Fi will be able to support 320 MHz channels, and it will likely be able to operate on different bands simultaneously. Devices will be capable of transferring data using either the 2.4GHz or 5 GHz band plus possibly 6GHz at the same time.<\/p>\n
These changes will become even more necessary in the coming years, as the numbers of devices, users, and online activity continue to grow rapidly.\u00a0MarTech Advisor<\/em>\u00a0predicts that by 2030, there will be\u00a015 devices per person, and the Internet of Things (IoT) market will reach $561 billion by 2022.<\/p>\nManaging Wi-Fi with 7SIGNAL<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhatever changes the new Wi-Fi standards bring, you need wireless network monitoring solutions that keep you informed, and your network updated. 7SIGNAL offers a range of tools in its solution that give you transparency into your network at all times, including the crucial end-user perspective.<\/p>\n
