Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi applicationsAbstract
This article aims to analyze the technological advances of Wi-Fi 7, highlighting its improvements in speed, range, efficiency, and practical applications. The methodology adopted is based on a bibliographic and technical review of official documents, scientific articles, and specialized publications on wireless networks. The results show that, while Wi-Fi 6, launched in 2019, focuses on optimizing efficiency in environments with multiple connected devices, Wi-Fi 7 offers significant gains in performance, such as higher speeds, lower latency, and improved support for emerging technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality. These advances have positioned Wi-Fi 7 as a strategic technology for high-demand applications and more complex digital environments.
