The speed of 5G per second is about to be achieved, and Intel and Broadcom have successfully demonstrated their first Wi Fi 7 technology

Recently, Intel and Broadcom conducted the industry's first cross vendor Wi Fi 7 demonstration, with wireless transmission speeds exceeding 5Gbps (5GB per second). This experiment used Intel ® CoRE ™ A laptop with a processor and Wi Fi 7 wireless solution, and connected to the Broadcom Wi Fi 7 access point.

"Intel is proud to demonstrate how the new Wi-Fi 7 makes a whole new mobile PC experience possible. Industry collaboration is critical to ensuring that the promise of this new wireless technology is fulfilled. We would like to thank our partners at Broadcom for working with us on technology to make this unprecedented world premiere of ultra-fast, ultra-low latency Wi-Fi 7 a success."

Carlos Cordeiro, Intel Fellow and Chief Wireless Technology Officer, Client Computing Business Group

"The message from this landmark demonstration is clear: the ecosystem is ready and Wi-Fi 7 will deliver outstanding capacity and incredible speeds to further expand gigabit broadband. The reliable, low-latency communication provided by Wi-Fi 7 is a key element of Broadcom's vision of being connected to everything as the Internet iterates into a fully immersive experience. Industry collaboration is key to achieving this excellent connectivity. We are pleased to have another industry-leading achievement with Intel."

Vijay Nagarajan, vice president of Broadcom's wireless connectivity division

As the bearer platform for the wireless experience of the next decade, Wi-Fi 7 needs to deliver higher speeds, lower latency, improved reliability, and greater capacity. Wi-Fi 7 takes full advantage of new features, including a wider 320MHz channel in the unlicensed 6GHz spectrum, higher-order 4K QAM digital signal modulation and demodulation technology, concurrent connection across multi-frequency bands through multi-link operation, and enhanced channel utilization through the multi-resource unit puncturing technology.

The deterministic operation of Wi-Fi 7 enables new product categories, including augmented and virtual reality, 16K ultra-high-definition media streaming, ultra-responsive and reliable gaming experiences, and the ability to connect a large number of devices at home or in the office. Broadband customers will get the full value of a gigabit Internet plan as Wi-Fi 7 speeds up dramatically.

"Wi-Fi 7 is the most powerful Wi-Fi protocol to date and will continue to serve consumers and the most demanding applications in vertical markets with the highest level of certainty. "The interoperability test between Intel and Broadcom will help develop related products for use in the Wi-Fi Alliance's official certification test platform."

-- Phil Solis, Director of Connectivity Research at IDC

Intel and Broadcom provide the vital complete network that will help realize the full potential of Wi-Fi 7 and provide an end-to-end superior experience for the broader Wi-Fi market.

"As longtime board members of the Wireless Broadband Alliance, Broadcom and Intel were instrumental in building Wi-Fi 6 and 6E. Now they are leading the industry again with Wi-Fi 7, and numerous countries in Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the United States are rapidly supporting the 6GHz spectrum. The successful trials by both companies are an important milestone in driving Wi-Fi 7 to bring speeds of over 10Gbps, ultra-low latency, carrier-level adaptability and other next-generation features to consumers and enterprises around the world. Enterprise and residential networks will also greatly benefit from the advanced features of Wi-Fi 7."

-- Tiago Rodrigues, CEO, Wireless Broadband Alliance

This successful demo is proof enough that Wi-Fi 7 has arrived, and Broadcom and Intel will continue to show off other Wi-Fi 7 features.
