Wi-Fi 8 works more reliably

Of course, there are still years until the arrival of the new standard, but you can already see where the development is going.

Although Wi-Fi 7 is still spreading slowly but surely, there are already news about the arrival of Wi-Fi 8, which will arrive as an IEEE 802.11bn Ultra High Reliability standard in 2028 at the earliest. THE PC World based on the available materials, he also examined what is expected, and there will be no real progress in terms of performance, but innovations can be expected in terms of capabilities.

One important development will be Co-SR technology, which will allow access points to communicate with each other and coordinate their performance, thus improving the performance of the entire Wi-Fi system, according to MediaTek, by roughly 15-25%. Co-BF is also an innovation, which ensures that the access points can communicate with each other, including determining which device requires the signal at all, so that it can also be controlled from the device that does not communicate with the network.

DSO will also be an important capability, already part of Wi-Fi 7, but with the version coming in Wi-Fi 8, the access point will be able to decide on the capabilities and requests of all devices and manage data accordingly.

Ultimately, the goal of Wi-Fi 8 is better reliability, thus offering a more favorable user experience when using complex wireless networks.
