In this episode, we break down what WiFi 8 really brings to the table, how it builds on WiFi 7's capabilities, and what the real-world differences mean for networks that need performance, reliability, and scale. We’ll unpack improvements in latency, coordination, and efficiency - and why WiFi 8 is less about raw speed and more about predictable performance.

We also dig into the big question: when does WiFi 8 become a viable upgrade option? Is it something to plan for now, or something to watch from the sidelines? And who will adopt it first?

Whether you’re planning network refresh cycles, advising customers, or just trying to stay ahead of the wireless curve, this episode helps cut through the hype and focus on the real choice between waiting for WiFi 8 or going for WiFi 7.
