Wi-Fi 7

WiFi 7 is a new generation technology with higher speeds and better management of frequency bands.

With its added bandwidth, Wi-Fi 7 offers an experience like driving on a 16-lane superhighway, whereas today’s systems are limited to four or eight lanes. This has been made possible with features such as Multi-link Operation (MLO), combined with a wide spectrum of up to 320 MHz. MLO can carry more data.It is like having three highways instead of one.

It can also manage multiple devices simultaneously and ensure good performance, which is crucial in modern homes.

With Wi-Fi 7 you can enjoy theoretical speeds of up to 20 Gbps. This means you have plenty of room to download large files for teleworking, play online games, and watch video streams of up to 8K. It can also manage multiple devices simultaneously and ensure good performance, which is crucial in modern homes.

Wi-Fi 7 doesn’t only offer improved performance, it has also revolutionized security with WPA3 encryption, which better protects data traffic against radio link attacks. Orange Group has also played a key role in the development and adoption WPA3-CM or Compatibility Mode. This mode enables a Livebox to offer three frequencies via a single network name. Users benefit from optimal connectivity, and a simplified experience that avoids the need for several distinct networks.

Orange led the way when launching the Wi-Fi 7 standard with a strategy involving major players including the main operators in the US, EU and Asia and leading suppliers of components. A committed member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, Orange will play a key role in the future development of Wi-Fi for more efficient and secure standards and optimized customer experience.
