Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation

That is insane! Not that I would, but this could utilise the full pipe of my home connection on wifi only!

Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation.

It also supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which enables the simultaneous transmission and reception of data by using multiple links.

Lumen Technologies last month said it plans to show off its Wi-Fi 7-capable network device for Quantum Fiber customers at CES this week, with delivery slated for early 2024.

And as we noted previously, UK networking vendor EE, now part of BT, is working on Wi-Fi 7 kit of its own.

Apple is expected to add Wi-Fi 7, from a third-party chip, to its iPhone 16 Pro models later this year.

The iBiz will reportedly switch to its own Wi-Fi 7 silicon when the iPhone 17 Pro line appears in 2025.
