It feels like just yesterday that Wi-Fi 5 was the latest breakthrough in wireless technology, while Wi-Fi 6 was on the horizon. Today, Wi-Fi 6 and 6E are widely accessible, while Wi-Fi 7 is beginning to emerge from some vendors. The pace of Wi-Fi’s technological advancement continues to accelerate, promising even more impressive innovations ahead.

What should we expect from Wi-Fi 7 in the coming months and years? Is it really that noteworthy, or is it just one more gimmick being used to attempt to make us upgrade our infrastructure and devices?

In this article, we look at the technologies that are making Wi-Fi 7 a reality, and what, in practical terms, that means for your wireless networks.

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the successor to the well-established IPv4 network layer protocol. It is slowly but surely gaining ground worldwide on both internal corporate enterprise networks and on the internet at large.

But what does this mean for real-time audio and video communications applications such as VoIP and unified communications (UC)? How are VoIP and UC leveraging IPv6, and are there any issues that network admins must be aware of in this process? In this article, we answer these questions by examining the benefits and challenges of deploying such applications over an IPv6 network.

Wireless networks are often characterized using designations that reflect the specific capabilities they deliver. Commonly encountered classifications today include Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6. But what exactly do these terms signify, and is the distinction between them important?

This article delves into these standards, highlighting their differences and shedding light on the prospects of Wi-Fi technology.
