Why WiFi 7 for Industrial Networks?

WiFi 7 introduces new technologies that make it ideal for industrial and enterprise environments:

• Up to 46 Gbps throughput with 320 MHz channels
• Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for seamless failover and reliability
• 4K QAM for higher spectral efficiency
• Lower latency for time-sensitive industrial automation
• Improved network density support, essential for IoT-heavy environments
  
  

These features allow WiFi 7 router boards and access points to handle mission-critical applications such as real-time monitoring, robotics, and intelligent transportation systems.
