Wi-Fi 7 is coming to CES 2022 with 2.4 times faster than Wi-Fi 6 and 6E
Although we have only recently seen the influx of Wi-Fi 6E rappers by 2021, chip and modem companies are already working hard on the next big thing. During the annual press conference for MediaTek developers, the company announced that it would launch the Wi-Fi 7 network at CES 2022.
Wi-Fi 6 – also known as 802.11ax – routers are starting to enter homes today, and new Wi-Fi 6E access points have not yet reached the market. However, MediaTek is starting to prepare for the launch of Wi-Fi 7. And the exciting level of technology promises faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5.
The Wi-Fi 7 will also be known as 802.11be, with MediaTek saying the technology is expected to deliver 2.4x speeds and lower latency than its predecessor, according to company records published in PCMag.
When Wi-Fi 6 was introduced, it was added as a major upgrade to Wi-Fi in ten years. The state-of-the-art technology, which also supports the new Wi-Fi 6E, promises faster speeds, reduced congestion, provides lower latency and has better security.
The normal supported speeds are close to 10Gbps speeds, as long as your broadband connection can handle that. And using Netgear statistics, the Wi-Fi 7 router should be capable of 12 times the speed of Wi-Fi 5 by extension.

According to Ookla, a company that follows the popular Speediest.net app that measures the speed of your internet connection, the average American home gets slower than 200Mbps on average per year, with the sample ending October 2021. Wi-Fi 7, on the other hand, can reach a theoretical speed of up to 30Gbps.
Although the preview of next-generation Wi-Fi hotspots could happen by early 2022, technology could still take years to reach home routers, PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other connected devices. As per the IEEE, the governing body of Wi-Fi standards, 802.11be amendments will be published in 2024 and commercial transactions will take place soon.

Circle to Search feature may be available on the iOS platform this year. In an exciting development, folks over at the Mac Observer discovered that Google is preparing to upgrade Chrome for iOS with Android’s awesome Circle to Search feature.
Chrome for iOS silently added a new “Lens Circle to Search” flag. When enabled, it will likely bring the feature to Apple’s iOS devices. Well, it is expected to be a Lens-powered feature available within the application itself, rather than system-wide integration.
Circle to Search debuted earlier this year with the Galaxy S24 series. It’s developed by Google for Galaxy and Pixel devices. As of now, a number of Samsung and Google devices have access to it. Meanwhile, the expansion may take place to more Android vendors and iOS too.
This feature is literally powered by Google Lens. Thanks to system-wide integration, it feels like a core feature of the Android operating system. Through an app update, Google seems to be planning Circle to Search beyond Android devices.
