MediaTek expects first Wi-Fi 7 devices next year
MediaTek says that it has been working on the future Wi-Fi 7 standard for a while now and it even showcased the new tech to partners and key customers. The Wi-Fi 7 standard is an upgrade over the Wi-Fi 6 and offers about 2.4x speed boost.
The Wi-Fi standard will be able to utilize 320MHz channels, use 4K quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), multi-user resource unit (MRU) and will still work on the existing 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz frequencies.
The first devices with Wi-Fi 7 support will hit the market in 2023, says MediaTek. Those will be based on a draft specification though, since the standard itself won't be certified by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) until 2024.

That’s the thing about progress. You might have thought the same 10 years ago when you had state-of-the-art shit back then as well.

WiFi 6 chipsets should become more available in WiFi security cameras and other device.
