IEEE 802.11be, dubbed Extremely High Throughput (EHT), is a wireless networking standard in the IEEE 802.11 set of protocols,[9][10] which is designated Wi-Fi 7 by Wi-Fi Alliance.[11][12][13] It has built upon 802.11ax, focusing on WLAN indoor and outdoor operation with stationary and pedestrian speeds in the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequency bands.[14]
Throughput is believed to reach a theoretical maximum of 46 Gbit/s, although actual results are much lower.[15]
Development of the 802.11be amendment is ongoing, with an initial draft in March 2021, and a final version expected by the end of 2024.[12][16][17] Despite this, numerous products were announced in 2022 based on draft standards, with retail availability in early 2023. On 8 January 2024, the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced its Wi-Fi Certified 7 program to certify Wi-Fi 7 devices. While final ratification is not expected until the end of 2024, the technical requirements are essentially complete,[15] and as of February 2024[update] there are already products labeled as Wi‑Fi 7.[18][19][20]
The global Wi-Fi 7 market was estimated at US$1 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach US$24.2 billion by 2030.[21]
Core features
[edit]The following are core features that have been approved as of Draft 3.0:
- 4096-QAM (4K-QAM) enables each symbol to carry 12 bits rather than 10 bits, resulting in 20% higher theoretical transmission rates than WiFi 6's 1024-QAM.
- Contiguous and non-contiguous 320/160+160 MHz and 240/160+80 MHz bandwidth
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO), a feature that increases capacity by simultaneously sending and receiving data across different frequency bands and channels. (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz)[22]
- Theoretically as little as 1% the latency of Wi‑Fi 6, through the use of MLO
- 16 spatial streams and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) protocol enhancements[22]
- Flexible Channel Utilization – Interference currently can negate an entire Wi-Fi channel. With preamble puncturing, a portion of the channel that is affected by interference can be blocked off while continuing to use the rest of the channel.
Candidate features
[edit]The main candidate features mentioned in the 802.11be Project Authorization Request (PAR) are:[23]
- Multi-Access Point (AP) Coordination (e.g. coordinated and joint transmission),
- Enhanced link adaptation and retransmission protocol (e.g. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ)),
- If needed, adaptation to regulatory rules specific to 6 GHz spectrum,
- Integrating Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) IEEE 802.1Q extensions for low-latency real-time traffic:[24][25][26]
- IEEE 802.1AS timing and synchronisation
- IEEE 802.11aa MAC Enhancements for Robust Audio Video Streaming (Stream Reservation Protocol over IEEE 802.11)
- IEEE 802.11ak Enhancements for Transit Links Within Bridged Networks (802.11 links in 802.1Q networks)
- Bounded latency: credit-based (IEEE 802.1Qav) and cyclic/time-aware traffic shaping (IEEE 802.1Qch/Qbv), asynchronous traffic scheduling (IEEE 802.1Qcr-2020)
- IEEE 802.11ax Scheduled Operation extensions for reduced jitter/latency
Additional features
[edit]Apart from the features mentioned in the PAR, there are newly introduced features:[27]
- Newly introduced 4096-QAM (4K-QAM),
- Contiguous and non-contiguous 320/160+160 MHz and 240/160+80 MHz bandwidth,
- Frame formats with improved forward-compatibility,
- Enhanced resource allocation in OFDMA,
- Optimized channel sounding that requires less airtime,
- Implicit channel sounding,
- More flexible preamble puncturing scheme,
- Support of direct links, managed by an access point.

802.11be Task Group
[edit]The 802.11be Task Group is led by individuals affiliated with Qualcomm, Intel, and Broadcom. Those affiliated with Huawei, Maxlinear, NXP, and Apple also have senior positions.[17]
Commercial availability
[edit]Qualcomm announced its FastConnect 7800 series on 28 Feb 2022 using 14 nm chips.[48][49] As of March 2023, the company claims 175 devices will be using their Wi-Fi 7 chips, including smartphones, routers, and access points.[50]
Broadcom followed on 12 April 2022 with a series of 5 chips covering home, commercial, and enterprise uses.[51] The company unveiled its second generation Wi-Fi 7 chips on 20 June 2023 featuring tri-band MLO support and lower costs.[52]
The TP-Link Archer BE900 wireless router was available to consumers in April 2023.[53] The company's Deco BE95 mesh networking system was also available that month. Asus, Eero, Linksys and Netgear had Wi-fi 7 wireless routers available by the end of 2023.
The ARRIS SURFboard G54 is a DOCSIS 3.1 cable gateway featuring Wi-Fi 7. It became available in October 2023.
Client devices

Intel launched the BE200 and BE202 wireless adapters for desktop and laptop motherboards in September 2023.[57]
The Asus ROG Strix Z790 E II motherboard is among the first with built-in Wi-Fi 7.[58]
Software
[edit]Android 13 and higher provide support for Wi-Fi 7.[59]
The Linux 6.2 kernel provides support for Wi-Fi 7 devices.[60] The 6.4 kernel added Wi-Fi 7 mesh support.[61] Linux 6.5 included significant driver support by Intel engineers, particularly support for MLO.[62]
Support for Wi-Fi 7 was added to Windows 11, as of build 26063.1.[63][64]
