- Wi-Fi 7 Advanced promises 10Gbps networks with built-in detection and improved security
- Huawei and IEEE release white paper describing connectivity, IoT and Zero Trust protections
- The future of Wi-Fi networks is moving from pure speed to intelligent detection and protection
Huawei has released its white paper on advanced Wi-Fi 7 technology in Europe, setting out a vision for the next stage of wireless networks.
The white paper, produced in collaboration with IEEE and select industry partners, describes how Wi-Fi 7 Advanced builds on Wi-Fi 7 to deliver faster speeds, tighter integration with IoT and sensing, and enhanced security features.
“Wi-Fi 7 Advanced enables access points to create campus networks that seamlessly integrate communication, sensing and IoT,” said Dr. Edward Au, IEEE 802.11be Technical Editor. “This improves the campus experience, strengthens security and boosts digital productivity, making the entire campus smarter, secure and efficient,” he added.
What does this mean for Wi-Fi 8?
Among the key features of Wi-Fi 7 Advance is intelligent coordinated scheduling and spatial reuse technology, designed to enable large-scale 80 MHz networking and double the data throughput of a single user.
In conjunction with VIP FastPass, the system guarantees low-latency connections for priority users.
Huawei says this creates the foundation for 10Gbps enterprise networks capable of handling AR-assisted workflows and AI-driven collaboration.
The technology also goes beyond raw speed. By combining Wi-Fi, IoT and sensing, Wi-Fi 7 Advanced enables what Huawei calls “smart spaces”.
Applications range from energy-efficient building management to human presence detection to healthcare monitoring with mmWave sensors for continuous monitoring of vital signs.
As you would expect, security is also a priority. Wi-Fi 7 Advanced features Wi-Fi Shield, which uses AI-powered jamming to prevent data leaks, while Wi-Fi channel status information detection detects intrusions in real time.
There are also tools to identify hidden cameras via full-band scanning.
“Powered by Wi-Fi 7 Advanced, Huawei Xinghe AI Campus pushes communication efficiency to new limits with 10Gbps connectivity,” said Shawn Zhao, President of Campus Network Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line.
Wi-Fi 8 is positioned as a standard that focuses less on peak speeds and more on stability, latency, and performance under heavy load. The arrival of Wi-Fi 7 Advanced complicates this picture.
Delivering 10Gbps office networks and layering detection and AI-based security, Wi-Fi 7 Advanced brings features previously expected from Wi-Fi 8.
