MTK said Wi-Fi 7 is 2.4 times faster than the previous generation network and will for the first time truly allow wireless to replace wired/ethernet. MediaTek has announced the world's first demonstration of Wi-Fi 7 based on Filogic chipsets. MTK says Wi-Fi 7 is 2.4 times faster than previous generation networks and will truly replace wired/ethernet networks with wireless for the first time. While the official Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) is still being developed, sources say it will have peak speeds of 48Gbps and typical speeds of 40Gbps. In fact, what is not known is that Huawei is currently the largest contributor behind the Wi-Fi 7 standard. According to IPlytics, as of October last year, Huawei has submitted and adopted the most contributions to the TGbe (Wi-Fi 7 Standards Working Group), while the four generations of wireless standards from Wi-Fi 4 to date, Huawei still has the most cumulative contributions to submit. However, in the Wi-Fi 6 era, Qualcomm has made the most contributions, and Qualcomm also holds the most EPs (standard essential patents). In addition, in the Wi-Fi 7 submission contribution, Intel, LG, Broadcom, MediaTek, Samsung, NXP, etc. also have a lot, Apple, ZTE, etc. also on the list. It should be noted that Wi-Fi 7 is the standard expected to be signed and released in 2024, and MediaTek has stated that it will release its first product ahead of schedule in 2023.
