With powerful features like 320 MHz channels, 4096-QAM modulation and Multi-Link Operation, Wi-Fi 7 has been positioned as a potential game changer for IoT
The latest numbers for global connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices show a rapidly expanding ecosystem. According to IoT Analytics, there are approximately 18.8 billion IoT devices globally, marking a 13% increase from 16.6 billion in 2023. This growth trend is expected to continue, with projections estimating that the number of IoT devices will reach 40 billion by 2030.
With powerful features like 320 MHz channels, 4096-QAM modulation and Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Wi-Fi 7 has been positioned as a potential game changer for IoT as it promises to deliver the faster, more reliable, more energy efficient and lower-latency wireless connectivity that emerging - and more advanced and data-intensive - IoT applications require.
