Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT), is the next generation of Wi-Fi technology designed to provide faster and more efficient wireless connectivity for devices.

Wi-Fi 7 is more than four times faster than Wi-Fi 6, supports five times the network capacity, and has much lower latency. Faster speeds and more capacity are especially important in dense environments like large public events, where there can be a lot of interference from other devices.
It is expected to be formally standardized in 2024, but the first devices supporting it are expected to hit the market earlier.
The main feature is the ability to deliver higher speeds and lower latency compared to previous generations of Wi-Fi. This is possible by using a new frequency band (6 GHz) in addition to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands used by Wi-Fi 6 and older generations.
