wi-fi 7 the next generation of wireless internet is here

The Wi-Fi Alliance is now officially certifying products that support Wi-Fi 7, the next generation of wireless internet. With certification, we should soon start to see new products such as smartphones, laptops, and routers using the Wi-Fi 7 standard, which will likely mean huge speed and efficiency gains.

Although Wi-Fi 7 Routers have already been released by companies like Netgear, TP-Link, and Eero, the products still need to be officially certified. That doesn’t mean they won’t work with Wi-Fi 7, but it does mean that some companies can’t officially guarantee compatibility for their devices just yet.

wi-fi 7 features

Wi-Fi 7 devices offer up to double the bandwidth of those using earlier standards, meaning the potential for wireless download speeds of two gigabits per second and theoretical local network speeds of up to 46 gigabits per second (though real-world peaks of 5-6 Gbps are more probable).

The technology also features Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which bonds connections spread across two or three of the 2.4 GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, giving extra speed and stability and allowing users to move more seamlessly between wireless access points.

In addition, Wi-Fi 7 may also unlock the use of additional bands between the 1Ghz and 7GHz+ range, but that will depend on local legislation and availability.

Wi-Fi 7 devices are backward-compatible with previous versions, though those older devices won’t benefit from new Wi-Fi 7 features or see a speed increase. However, if you’re a tech enthusiast or early adopter, a new Wi-Fi 7 router would be a fantastic upgrade to future-proof your home internet setup.

Global tech company Yango is debuting its AI-driven warehouse robotics and pick-and-place solutions at the Seamless Middle East event, which is currently running in Dubai (May 14-16). The technologies aim to combat the rising fulfillment costs that are burdening the e-commerce, retail, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.

In e-commerce, fulfillment now represents one-third of all operating expenses. Global giant Amazon saw fulfillment costs rise from 31% of net sales in 2021 to 36% in 2023. Yango’s solutions could provide a much-needed remedy to these escalating figures.

At Seamless Middle East, attendees can experience live demonstrations of Yango’s robotic pick-and-place hardware. This technology leverages “advanced computer vision” to allow stationary robots to perform like human operatives while still managing to move 800 items per hour.

Yango has also introduced stock-taking, goods, and pallet-moving solutions to streamline inventory management and fulfillment. The company’s robots can autonomously navigate warehouses and work together with other machinery to get tasks done faster and more accurately.

Alexei Filippov, Head of Global Business Development at Yango Robotics, said: “As fulfillment costs continue to rise, our warehouse robotics solutions come at a crucial time to help businesses not just survive but thrive. Our new robotics pick-and-place platform, mobile warehouse robotics solutions, and other technologies show Yango’s commitment to innovation and efficiency [and] we’re excited to debut [them] at Seamless Middle East”.

Yango is also showcasing further technologies at the exhibition, including autonomous delivery robots and the AI-powered White Label App and AI Shelf Monitoring System for retail applications.
