EE has launched its 5GSA mobile network across 15 UK cities, including London, Manchester, and Glasgow, aiming to enhance mobile coverage and performance. Alongside this, the new Wi-Fi 7 Smart Hub Pro promises superior home broadband speeds and connectivity. These advancements position EE as a forefront leader in the UK’s cellular network arena.
Brought forth by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), the exciting implementation of Wi-Fi 7 offers to revolutionize our wireless possibilities. This tech breakthrough, outpacing previous Wi-Fi versions, promises double the bandwidth and triple the speed, enabling impractical or seemingly impossible applications to become reality. The technology, based upon the IEEE 802.11be standard, will enable channel widths up to 320 MHz and support 4k QAM. With the potential for widespread deployment, Wi-Fi 7’s multi-link operation could mark a future with enhanced Wi-Fi experiences and low-latency immersive applications. However, the prerequisites of a solid fiber connection highlight challenges in achieving full-scale benefits.
