The Wi-Fi Alliance announced the Wi-Fi Certified 7 program on January 8, 2024, opening the path for Wi-Fi vendors to promote verified compliance with the new Wi-Fi 7 standard. Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) delivers faster, more reliable wireless internet.

It is backward compatible and supports simultaneous communications in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. More efficient encoding and larger compressed data rates increase throughput for the same frequency band. At 6 GHz, it uses a 320-MHz channel for double the throughput. It also ups the transmission rate by jumping to 4K quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) data encoding at 6 GHz and utilizes a more efficient 512-bit compressed block ACK.

Wi-Fi Certified 7 Program

The Wi-Fi Certified 7 program will help developers and consumers ensure compatibility and device interoperability. Wi-Fi 7 requires leading-edge technology, and the Certified 7 program uses alliance partner testbed equipment to verify that Wi-Fi 7 products meet the stringent requirements.
