Wi-Fi Upgrades On The Horizon As Enterprises Eye Wi-Fi 7
Search Networking, Monday, August 26th, 2024
Enterprises have been slow to adopt Wi-Fi 7, as they find previous generations suit their needs. However, experts predict enterprises will upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 in the next 12 to 18 months.
Despite Wi-Fi 7's availability, many organizations have yet to transition to this latest standard.
Because Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 are still suitable for most organizations, enterprises continue to use older generations of wireless technology. Furthermore, the scarcity of Wi-Fi 6E devices, incompatibility and other challenges also prompted organizations to delay Wi-Fi 6E adoption. When Wi-Fi 6 was first released, many organizations decided not to deploy it and jump to Wi-Fi 7 upon its release instead.
Although migration beyond Wi-Fi 6 has stalled, experts believe enterprises will transition to Wi-Fi 7 now that it has been released. Experts predict its adoption will occur in the next 12 to 18 months.
