Why Cisco Leads with Wi-Fi 7: Transforming Future Connectivity

From the devices we carry and the buildings where we work to the millions of terabytes transmitted around the world every day, our world runs on wireless technology. With the arrival of Wi-Fi 7, a new era of connectivity is upon us, promising unprecedented speed, reliability, and innovation. Choosing the right partner to navigate this new chapter is crucial. Here is where Cisco stands out as your ideal choice.

Key features of Wi-Fi 7 and solutions from Cisco

1. Increased speed and capacity

Cisco Wi-Fi 7 solutions deliver speeds up to 46 Gbps, nearly four times faster than Wi-Fi 6, ensuring seamless performance for bandwidth-heavy applications like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This capacity allows for rich, lag-free user experiences.

2. Smart, immersive spaces with Cisco Spaces

Included with every wireless license, Cisco Spaces turns Wi-Fi 7 into the foundation of intelligent, connected spaces. With AI-powered 3D mapping, IoT services, and real-time asset tracking, businesses can create immersive experiences—think hospitals tracking critical equipment or offices guiding employees to available meeting rooms.

3. A reimagined, simplified licensing model

Cisco Networking Subscription introduces a streamlined approach to deploying and managing Wi-Fi 7 networks. This new model unifies network management, simplifying operations and allowing organizations to adapt seamlessly as their network needs evolve.

4. Multi-link operation (MLO)

A standout feature of Wi-Fi 7, MLO allows devices to use multiple frequency bands simultaneously. This capability enhances reliability and reduces latency, providing a consistent, high-performance experience. Cisco Wi-Fi 7 solutions leverage MLO to set a new standard for wireless networks.

5. Enhanced security across all bands

Cisco Wi-Fi 7 enforces advanced security protocols, moving beyond outdated encryption standards to reduce vulnerabilities and ensure your network remains secure and resilient.
