Next-gen Wi-Fi 8 focuses on reliability instead of speed — "Ultra High Reliability" initiative boosts performance, lowers latency and packet loss in challenging conditions
But those improvements will only be fully standardized in 2028.
In enterprise and industrial settings, it could support mission-critical systems like autonomous guided vehicles, collaborative robots, and factory automation to ensure seamless operation even during transitions between access points. In public venues such as airports, malls, or stadiums, Wi-Fi 8 could improve workloads like AR navigation, live video sharing, real-time translation, and critical systems like surveillance and emergency communication.
