Last year, it stated that it would be built based on the IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT) standard.Next-generation Wi-Fi 7 wireless network technologyLater, Intel reiterated earlier that since the launch of the Centrino brand wireless network solution in 2003, it has continued to invest in the development of Wi-Fi technology standards. The next Wi-Fi 7 technology products are expected to be launched, and will be combined with Intel's own 4G and 5G network technology solutions to solve the needs of PCs for constant network use and correspond to sufficient wireless computing modes through higher bandwidth.
Intel stated that the future development of Wi-Fi technology solutions will not only be limited to improving connection efficiency, but will also combine a variety of wireless connection information to increase data transmission bandwidth and meet greater computing needs.
As wireless network technology advances, Intel expects it to drive more diverse computing models and enable more applications in more industries such as commerce, industry, healthcare, and transportation. It will also make applications such as wireless computing, artificial intelligence, and virtual vision more popular.
In the design of different product applications, Intel provides Wi-Fi 5.2/6E solutions with Bluetooth 6 connectivity. It currently supports Bluetooth trackers. For example, it previously supported the Tile Finding Bluetooth tracking function. It is also included in the Intel Evo/vPro design project, allowing partners to use it to create various application products.
At the same time, the Connectivity Performance Suite 1.0 technology provided by the Intel Evo platform will be able to automatically adjust network traffic priority or automatically connect to the wireless network AP hotspot with the best signal. The Intel Double Connect Technology, which will be launched in the second half of 2022, is derived from the Killer network card technology of Rivet Networks, which was previously acquired by Intel. It will allow the PC to connect to two wireless network bands at the same time, thereby improving the overall data transmission speed, or automatically allocate network traffic to different wireless network bands based on different bandwidth connection requirements and access priorities.
Intel is currently collaborating with technology alliances such as IEEE, Wi-Fi Alliance, Wireless Broadband Alliance, and 3GPP to promote technology solutions such as Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and the upcoming Wi-Fi 7. Intel will also continue to promote 4G, 5G, and future 6G connectivity solutions, as well as the increasingly popular satellite connectivity resources and ultra-wideband networks, to achieve more barrier-free wireless computing development.
Intel plans to release the first official version of the 2024be/Wi-Fi 802.11 specification in 7. Based on Wi-Fi 6, it will enhance the use of the 6GHz frequency band, improve connection reliability, reduce connection latency, and provide transmission speeds exceeding 5Gbps. Furthermore, the channel bandwidth and modulation method will be increased to 320MHz and 4096 QAM, respectively, and features such as Multi-Link Operation and Multi-RU Puncturing will be introduced.
Intel's Wi-Fi 7 solution has also undergone platform compatibility testing and verification with major partners across software, hardware, and operating systems. This includes interoperability testing with the Casper Wireless Test Facility. Intel Connectivity Analytics technology links Cisco Catalyst wireless controllers with the Cisco Meraki dashboard, providing statistical data to Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E clients, enabling network administrators to make better decisions.
