Wi-Fi® adoption at home and work continues to grow, with Research and Markets projecting that the global Wi-Fi market will expand from $24.2 billion in 2021 to $54.53 billion in 2027.

Choosing high-quality customer premises equipment (CPE) is part of the set of responsibilities of network operators, Wi-Fi® network architects, and Wi-Fi device vendors. However, key performance indicators (KPIs) vary according to the use case that the device is meant to perform under. These KPIs can be challenging to assess due to the complexity of deployment scenarios.

Wi-Fi Alliance® is committed to delivering a high-quality connectivity experience through thought leadership, spectrum advocacy, and innovative technologies.

The ubiquity of Wi-Fi® has made it the primary technology for internet access.

Wi-Fi® is no longer just a simple, best effort, wireless link that connects a device to the network for web browsing. While each new generation of Wi-Fi brings exciting new features, use cases are more demanding in terms of throughput and latency, and customers are more concerned by range and robustness.

Wi-Fi Alliance recently shared four Wi-Fi trends for 2022. Wi-Fi Alliance members also shared their predictions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a fundamental challenge on a global scale. Our socioeconomic systems have been strained as a result, forcing entire societies to reexamine social practices and production systems that have often been in place for decades, if not centuries. These changes have caused a global economic recession worse than the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Continual evolution, greater transparency, and WPA3™ support for Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ devices ensures Wi-Fi delivers state-of-the-art security protections.
