Integrating Wi-Fi 7 with private 5G in customer premises equipment (CPE) devices can ensure reliable, gigabit-level speeds, robust security, and centralized management in various deployment scenarios.
Private 5G and Wi-Fi 7 networks offer high speeds, low latency, efficient spectrum use, and robust security for demanding applications. Understanding the key technical specifications, advantages, limitations, and primary use cases of 5G and Wi-Fi 7 is essential. Integrating 5G with Wi-Fi 7 in CPE devices can provide reliable, gigabit-level coverage.
Wi-Fi 7: From 46 Gbps to 4K QAM
Wi-Fi 7, launched in early 2024 by the Wi-Fi Alliance, delivers extremely high throughput with peak speeds up to 46 Gbps. This latest wireless standard supports various demanding use cases with new Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) indexes, 4096-quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), and wider 320 MHz channels.
