The importance of WLAN technology as core infrastructure remains unchanged even in the 5G/IoT era, and WLAN standards are constantly evolving to help implement next-generation use cases, including AR/VR and high-definition video streaming applications. In addition to implementing High Throughput (HE), Wi-Fi 6/6E supports lower latency, less interference, larger capacity and better reliability. Great progress has also been made in enhanced security. The upcoming Wi-Fi 7 aims to implement Extremely High Throughput (EHT), increasing overall throughput as well as functions to improve frequency utilization efficiency. This page introduces the progress in WLAN technology as well as WLAN testing and regulatory testing to ensure device communication quality.

802.11be (Wi-Fi 7)
Wi-Fi 7 will support a maximum throughput of at least 30 Gbps. This will be supported by new functionalities including wider channels, higher modulation schemes and Multi-Link Operation (MLO).
802.11ax（Wi-Fi 6/6E)
Wi-Fi 6E continues to roll out worldwide with some countries releasing 6 GHz spectrum for unlicensed bands to offer better connectivity at higher speeds by greatly increasing the number of channels using frequency bandwidths up to 1200 MHz.
Regulatory Testing
ETSI EMC standard EN 301 489-17 was revised in September 2020 and Packet Error Rate (PER) measurement is a mandatory performance criterion from July 2022
WLAN Design Guide
To ensure high quality and meet market requirements, various verifications and tests are required, such as comparison research of competitors’ products, module selection and certification
