WiFi 7 Access Points

320 MHz Channels and Multi-Link Operation for Maximum Throughput

WiFi 7 access points deliver the highest throughput and lowest latency available in wireless networking, doubling WiFi 6's maximum channel width to 320 MHz and introducing Multi-Link Operation for simultaneous tri-band connectivity. Models from Ubiquiti and HPE Aruba provide aggregate throughput exceeding 9 Gbps on tri-band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz) radios.

WiFi 7 Access Points for Every Environment

• Media production and post-production — 320 MHz channels move large video files wirelessly between editing stations, cameras, and shared storage without saturating the link
• AR/VR and immersive workspaces — Multi-Link Operation delivers the ultra-low latency required for real-time spatial computing, XR headsets, and interactive collaboration tools
• High-density conference centers and stadiums — 4096-QAM modulation and OFDMA handle thousands of devices during large events without throughput degradation
• Future-proofing new construction — buildings wired today need wireless infrastructure capable of handling device density and bandwidth demands five to seven years from now
• Research and engineering labs — high-throughput wireless for test equipment, data acquisition systems, and collaborative workstations that generate large data streams

What Separates a WiFi 7 Access Point

WiFi 7 (802.11be) builds on WiFi 6 with three major advances. First, 320 MHz channel widths in the 6 GHz band double WiFi 6's 160 MHz maximum, delivering significantly higher throughput per client. Second, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) lets a single device connect across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands simultaneously, routing traffic over whichever link is least congested at any given moment for improved reliability and reduced latency. Third, 4096-QAM modulation packs 20% more data into each transmission symbol compared to WiFi 6's 1024-QAM.

Power and Infrastructure Requirements

WiFi 7 access points require PoE+ (802.3at, 30W) or PoE++ (802.3bt, 60W) due to the higher power draw of tri-band radios with 320 MHz channel support. Verify that your PoE switch or injector can deliver the required wattage before deploying. Backhaul connectivity should be 2.5G or 10G Ethernet to avoid bottlenecking aggregate wireless throughput at the wired uplink. Existing Cat6a infrastructure supports both the power and speed requirements for WiFi 7 AP deployment.
