Key Technologies for IEEE 802.11bn - Ultra High Reliability (UHR)
Oct. 6, 2025
Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) promises 25% higher throughput, lower latency, and fewer packet losses. Discover the UHR technologies—enhanced MLO, MAPC, and coordinated AP functions—that make ultra-reliable Wi-Fi possible.
The IEEE 802.11bn standard, expected as Wi-Fi 8, shifts focus from throughput to ultra-reliability. Targeting 25% improvements in throughput, latency, and packet loss, it enhances user experience in applications like AR/VR and streaming. Building on Wi-Fi 6 and 7, it introduces advanced technologies such as enhanced Multi-Link Operation, Multi-AP Coordination, and coordinated mechanisms for beamforming, spatial reuse, and power management. Launching around 2028, Wi-Fi 8 promises more efficient, dependable, and energy-conscious wireless performance.
