Evolution WiFi follows step by step, at least that’s what he pointed out Dorothy Stanleychairman of the working group on standards IEEE 802.11who was in Brazil in the last days of March to present the group’s achievements at an event in Rio de Janeiro. According to her, WiFi 8 is already in development, even before the release WiFi 7scheduled for 2024.

In an interview with the site Tele.Synthesis, the director pointed out that part of the path for the next generation has already been paved, even in the rudimentary stages. At the same time, he spoke about upcoming commercial launches, mobile telephony, the role National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel), among others. For her, Brazil is a benchmark in terms of regulation and is linked to the great powers.

Wi-Fi 8, in principle, should appear in 2030 and develop with high frequencies. According to Stanley, there is a real possibility of using 60 GHz – for comparison Wi-Fi will use bandwidth 6 GHz. “This is something preliminary, but there is a lot of spectrum availability,” he said.

However, the main mission of the IEEE organization at the moment is to ensure the widespread adoption of WiFi 6Eevolution of the standard WiFi 6, which uses up to six 160 MHz channels in the 6 GHz band to provide speeds up to 9.6 Gbps. In the country, this range is intended for indoor use from 2021 and should soon be released for outdoor use.

Brazil at the forefront of connectivity

Assessing the emergence of Wi-Fi 7, which should provide speeds of at least 30 Gb / s, the president of the working group believes that it will take some more time in the commercial field, since the first devices will hit the market in 2024. For Stanley, Brazil, according to states Unitedhas done a “phenomenal job” through Anatel in introducing 6 GHz technology, while major markets such as Europeare still debating regulatory issues.

Stanley even pointed out that COVID-19 pandemic strengthened the role of Wi-Fi in the home with the growth of remote work, as well as classes and courses, which stimulated the development of more powerful networks. “Overnight,[Wi-Fi]swallowed up all domestic demand for uninterrupted connectivity,” he said. “It showed the importance of technology and the need to ensure that all spaces have a large capacity.”

“We, as a society, need all kinds of communication. And Brazil is an example for the whole world in terms of regulation, serving both and choosing sustainable paths,” the board added, strengthening the good market attitude towards our country.
