S12|E9 The Quest for Ultra-Reliability: From Wi-Fi to URWB

From AI-powered robots to autonomous vehicles and data-hungry cameras, the next generation of connected assets is pushing wireless networks to their limits. While Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 deliver leaps in speed, bandwidth, and capacity, some applications demand even more—ultra-low latency, higher reliability, and seamless connectivity. In this episode, we dive into the exciting evolution of Wi-Fi, how Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) delivers ultra-reliability beyond what Wi-Fi can deliver, and how organizations are combining Wi-Fi and URWB to unlock new use cases. We will also unpack: What sets Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 apart from earlier generations? The new possibilities these Wi-Fi advancements enable—and where they fall short.
