Wireless LAN (WLAN)
Accelerate life innovation with wireless LAN technologies
After the IEEE 802.11 standard was released in 1997, wireless LAN technologies spread rapidly with the appearance and functional enhancement of smartphones, IoT devices, and increasingly data-intensive applications. Today, wireless LAN technology supports a wide range of advanced services, including AR/VR and high-definition video.
This page introduces technologies from IEEE 802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8), IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), and IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E) onward, along with test solutions designed to improve the communication quality of wireless LAN devices and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
IEEE 802.11bn
802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8)
IEEE 802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8) aims to deliver more reliable wireless communications than previous WLAN standards by improving the effective throughput, reducing latency, and minimizing packet loss.

Key Technologies for IEEE 802.11bn - Ultra High Reliability (UHR)
IEEE 802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8) is the next-gen wireless LAN standard with Ultra High Reliability. This white paper highlights key technologies for real-time apps like HD video and AR/VR.
IEEE 802.11ax/802.11be
802.11be (Wi-Fi 7)
Wi-Fi 7 supports effective data rates of more than 30 Gbps. This high data throughput is enabled by broader channel bandwidth, advanced modulation, and new functions such as Multi-Link Operation (MLO). To achieve high data throughput, the importance of testing has increased more than ever.
