Cloud-Managed wireless access points
Meraki Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) – Executive Overview
Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be, "Extremely High Throughput") is the next evolution of enterprise wireless, designed to support high-bandwidth and low-latency applications such as 4K/8K video, AR/VR/XR, industrial IoT, and other real-time workloads. Wi-Fi 7 builds on the foundations introduced by Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, particularly the availability of the 6 GHz spectrum.
Key Benefits
Meraki highlights several major improvements over Wi-Fi 6/6E:
- Up to 4× higher throughput potential
- Lower latency
- Improved reliability and resilience
- Better spectral efficiency
- Enhanced interference mitigation
- Improved roaming experience
- Stronger security requirements
