Wi-Fi Now interview: Challenges and Solutions for Wi-Fi 7 Testing | Part 1



New Wi-Fi 7 standards are leap forward in performance and feature, but it also requires a new approach to testing.

The combination of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 is the most significant shift ever. With legacy Wi-Fi technologies, it's been about measuring speeds between one device and another. Wi-Fi 6 was introduced to handle multiple devices at the same time because, in reality, that's what happens in a home. So, there are a lot of mechanisms in Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 that help get a better user experience for all devices simultaneously. This has upped the game in terms of how you test. You're not just looking at device A and device B; you might even have 16 devices.
