TP-Link Successfully Completes First Wi-Fi 8 Technology Tests
TP-Link has officially announced the successful completion of its first data transmission tests using the next-generation Wi-Fi 8 standard (802.11bn).
Unlike previous generations that focused primarily on peak speeds, Wi-Fi 8 prioritizes connection stability, efficiency, and consistent performance in dense network environments.
A Smarter, More Reliable Standard
The Wi-Fi 8 protocol is engineered to support a significantly larger number of devices simultaneously, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even when users move throughout their homes or offices.
It maintains full backward compatibility with existing Wi-Fi devices — including smartphones, laptops, and smart home gadgets — making adoption seamless for consumers and businesses alike.
Key Technological Advancements
Wi-Fi 8 introduces several advanced features designed to improve coverage, efficiency, and responsiveness:
Distributed Resource Units (DRU): strengthens the signal for devices located farther from the router.
Enhanced Long Range (ELR): extends wireless coverage without compromising performance.
Unequal Modulation (UEQM): stabilizes speed when the network experiences high traffic loads.
Dynamic Sub-band Operation (DSO) and Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA): improve frequency utilization.
Multi-AP Coordination: allows multiple access points to work together intelligently, reducing interference and boosting overall throughput.
Next-Level Performance
The new generation achieves speeds of up to 46 Gbps, operating across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.
This performance makes Wi-Fi 8 ideal for 8K streaming, virtual reality, cloud gaming, and other applications requiring high bandwidth and ultra-low latency.
With Wi-Fi 8, TP-Link continues to pioneer wireless connectivity standards, delivering smarter, faster, and more efficient network solutions for the connected world of tomorrow.
