- Wi-Fi 8 is currently under development with a focus on enhancing connection reliability, succeeding the Wi-Fi 7 standard.
- The technology may incorporate mmWave (24+ GHz), which could theoretically provide a throughput of up to 100 Gbps.
- Backward compatibility with previous Wi-Fi standards is expected, ensuring seamless integration with existing devices.
- Wi-Fi 8 aims to improve latency, energy efficiency, and range, making it suitable for 8K video streaming and VR applications.
- Coordinated Multi-AP, initially planned for Wi-Fi 7, will enhance network performance by allowing multiple routers within a mesh system to manage traffic collaboratively.
- The first products with Wi-Fi 8 support are anticipated to launch by the end of 2027.
