Due to the shortage of semiconductors, the trend of 'Wi-Fi 7' becoming more widespread before 'Wi-Fi 6E' is increasing.

Wi-Fi 6 has emerged as a standard for frequencies in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The successor standard, Wi-Fi 6E, also supports the 6GHz band. In addition, 14 80MHz widths and 7 160MHz widths have been added.
Communication equipment compatible with Wi-Fi 6E began production in mid-2021, but the supply could not keep up due to the shortage of semiconductors, which is a problem all over the world, and customers got Wi-Fi 6E products. The situation that I can not enter continues.
According to research firm Dell'Oro Group, telecommunications equipment manufacturers have to procure the parts needed to enable Wi-Fi 6E on both client and host devices, hit hard by semiconductor shortages. It is said that it is. In addition, the demand of users is rather suitable for Wi-Fi 6, and it is reported that communication equipment manufacturers are focusing on the production of Wi-Fi 6 which is in high demand and stable supply. increase. In addition to supply shortages, federal regulations that hinder the spread of Wi-Fi 6E are also attributed.
Aside from Wi-Fi 6E in such a situation, Dell'Oro Group predicts that the successor standard Wi-Fi 7 will appear in 2023. Wi-Fi 7 is a standard developed with the goal of achieving even higher throughput than Wi-Fi 6E, covering the 2.4GHz band, 5GHz band, and 6GHz band, and the maximum communication rate is 9.6Gbps for Wi-Fi 6E. 46 Gbps. The maximum bandwidth is 320MHz for Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz, the maximum modulation is 4096QAM for Wi-Fi 6E 1024QAM, and the maximum MIMO is 16x16 for Wi-Fi 6E 8x8. Since Wi-Fi 7, which can be said to be upward compatible, will appear before the spread of Wi-Fi 6E progresses, Wi-Fi 6E is expected to become a 'standard that general consumers have never seen'. is.
'Wi-Fi 7 products, especially enterprise products, may be available in 2023,' said Dell'Oro Group. 'If this happens, users will not buy Wi-Fi 6E.' I did.
