In its Annual Industry Report 2023, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) found that 53% of service providers, technology vendors and enterprises have deployed Wi-Fi 6, and an additional 44% said they are currently working to adopt Wi-Fi 6E in the next 12-18 months. Further, 33% of those respondents confirmed that they already have plans to deploy Wi-Fi 7 by the end of 2024.
“Uptake of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 is being driven by a growing appetite for data-intensive, low-latency applications and use cases, from smart cities and immersive technologies such as the future metaverse to Industry 4.0.,” said the WBA in a statement.
