The Wi-Fi Alliance has begun its official certification program for wireless devices compatible with its latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, also known as 802.11be, marking an important milestone for potential enterprise users.
The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 program, announced today, means that the lengthy standardization process that the Wi-Fi Alliance goes through for each successive generation of Wi-Fi has reached a fairly stable place. This, in turn, may move the needle somewhat for businesses looking to their next Wi-Fi refresh cycle. The opening of official certification testing means that OEMs can now submit their products to verify that they’re Wi-Fi 7-compliant.
