KT Telecom and Intel Corp. revealed on Thursday, March 2, that they have teamed up to launch the Wi-Fi 7 technology. With its introduction, the South Korean telecom firm will become the first network service operator in the world to offer next-generation Wi-Fi.
KT and Intel signed the partnership deal this week, and they will work together in the development and promotion of the next Wi-Fi standard which is the Wi-Fi 7 technology. The telecom company said the signing of the contract was held on the sidelines of the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
As per The Korea Herald, the Wi-Fi 7 technology will offer more data with each transmission and will also increase raise the speed to a great extent. Moreover, it has been described to be the more improved technology compared to the current Wi-Fi 6/6E.
Another special feature of the Wi-Fi 7 is that it presents a key technology called “multilink operation” which allows the blending and utilization of two or more frequency bands at the same time. With this feature, KT’s Wi-Fi 7 AP will be able to deliver up to 11.5 Gigabits per second with four antennas. This will also give a large capacity to support multiple high-speed devices, immersive AR and VR experiences, massive P2P sharing, and teleconferencing.
“With this collaboration with Intel, KT has a foundation to provide a perfect experience for Wi-Fi 7 that will be applied by sharing KT’s excellent Wi-Fi development and operation expertise,” KT Telecom’s senior vice president of device business unit, Kim Byung Gyun, said in a statement. “KT will continue to play a leading role in technology.”
Eric McLaughlin, Intel’s general manager of wireless solutions group and vice president of client computing, also commented on the partnership with KT. “Our close collaboration and co-engineering to help ensure interoperability and performance with KT’s APs and Intel PC Client devices aim to significantly improve the wireless connectivity experience for our customers,” he said.
