As 6G still develops, Wi-Fi is stepping into the spotlight, not just as a complementary technology, but as a critical enabler of connectivity. With Wi-Fi 7 rolling out and Wi-Fi 8 on the horizon, the wireless ecosystem is experiencing a renaissance, driven by 6GHz spectrum expansion, AI-powered optimization, and a surge in enterprise and public deployments. In many ways, Wi-Fi is acting as a strategic stopgap, filling coverage gaps, offloading mobile traffic, and powering high-performance use cases while 6G remains in development. It’s the connective tissue between today’s 5G ambitions and tomorrow’s 6G vision.
Join this RCR Wireless News' event to understand the current state of the Wi-Fi as we examine a myriad of evolving use cases and monetization strategies being deployed by industry.
