It uses 2.4, 5, and 6-GHz spectrum bands to maximize total bandwidth. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/reference\/wi-fi-7-explained\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Tom\u2019s Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with Wi-Fi 7, companies experience faster delivery speeds of up to 30 gigabytes per second (Gbps). This is a huge jump from Wi-Fi 6E, which delivered only 2 Gbps. Reports confirm that with this increased speed, company networks will better handle data-intensive applications, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/what-is-wi-fi-7\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies switch to Wi-Fi 7 for reasons beyond faster connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 also offers great capacity and reduced latency to enable real-time data transfer and collaboration. These enhancements contribute to streamlined workflows and increased productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wi-Fi 7 also increases the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices a company can have on its network. IoT devices help companies enhance security, manage inventory, improve device performance, and create a positive customer experience. Because Wi-Fi 7 affects the way IoT devices connect, it is likely to be adopted across industries.<\/span><\/p>\n<a name=\"how-will-wi-fi-7-impact-field-services\" class=\"fldn-table-of-contents-anchor\"><\/a><h2 id=\"how-will-wi-fi-7-impact-field-services\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will Wi-Fi 7 impact field services?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several capabilities field service organizations will need to ensure their technicians have in order to effectively handle this upcoming demand for Wi-Fi 7 implementation.
