Wi-Fi 7 Could Make Thin Clients Much More Viable
ComputerWorld, Thursday, September 28,2023
The days when bandwidth and networking issues could hold back thin client devices may be over - thanks to Wi-Fi 7.
Wi-Fi 6 promised performance to match a wired network, and now we're beginning to see the first Wi-Fi 7 products hit the market with promises of performance on par with optical networks. That makes it not only an alternative for wired networks, but potentially a higher performing replacement - with solid improvements in security, latency, and bandwidth.
If you can get optical performance from a wireless network, doesn't it make more sense to deploy it when you have bandwidth constraints than pay for a fiber connection?
This kind of bandwidth could really change our desktop priorities.
