Wi-Fi 7 Moves To The IoT

Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be or Extremely High Throughput Wi-Fi, has been primarily used in high-end applications like notebook computers and AR/VR glasses due to its high-speed connectivity and low latency. However, it is now making its way into IoT devices such as smart door locks, thermostats, and robotic vacuum cleaners. The focus is not just on individual device speed but on enabling multiple devices to connect simultaneously. Infineon's Sivaram Trikutam discusses how Wi-Fi 7 can manage different bands, share capacity among multiple devices, and how vendors are leveraging its various features.
