By introducing a significant set of innovations compared to previous generations, Wi-Fi 7 improves users' entire wireless internet experience, providing:
- faster connection speed to each piece of terminal equipment;
- greater number of terminals connected at the same time;
- significant reduction in latency, allowing for better performance in virtual and augmented reality applications;
- greater reliability and stability;
- more security;
- lower energy consumption
These are the main advantages of the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology already made available by MEO to customers in the pilot project with its new Fiber X7 router. Developed by Altice Labs and 100% designed in Portugal, this equipment, which promises to revolutionize the market, was designed for intensive wireless use of immersive technologies, real-time 8K video and cloud computing applications. Integrated into the MEO Smart WiFi ecosystem, and with an innovative design, the new Fiber X7 router will be able to deliver the maximum speed that XGS-PON technology supports via Wi-Fi.
A cutting-edge ecosystem that ensures maximum Wi-Fi coverage within home and the best service experience under any circumstances, even in very congested environments, while ensuring low energy consumption. In the future, one of the possibilities offered by this technology will be Wi-Fi sensing, making it possible to monitor home, the office and help look after the family, particularly children and the elderly, without any additional equipment or alarms. As the future disruptive WiFi standard, it will be possible to parameterize and configure intelligent automation and alarm scenarios that cross the various domains of connected devices at home.
Always focused on innovation and the search for higher quality of service, the implementation of Wi-Fi 7 technology reinforces MEO's pioneering spirit in launching innovative products and services, keeping pace with rapid technological evolution and guaranteeing the availability of a more diversified and competitive offer to its customers, strengthening its commitment to the country's digitalization and competitiveness.
