"The next generation of Wi-Fi will evolve alongside 6G technology, he wrote in a blog about the expected requirements of Wi-Fi 9. It will need to support applications where "responsiveness, reliability, and predictability are just as critical as speed.""
"By the time Wi-Fi 9 is released, networks will need to enable multi-gig speeds with sub-5ms latency and zero tolerance for packet loss, Dopper wrote. Access points will need to connect dozens of devices at these speeds, and the technology will need to minimize power consumption for both access points and mobile devices."
""We are calling for early alignment across the industry around clear performance goals and use-case-driven requirements, ensuring that the next generation of Wi-Fi evolves alongside fibre broadband and future 6G networks," Dopper wrote in his Wi-Fi 9 post"
Wi-Fi 9 discussions have begun despite Wi-Fi 8 not releasing until late 2028 or 2029. The next generation will evolve with 6G technology, prioritizing responsiveness, reliability, and predictability alongside speed. Wi-Fi 9 must deliver multi-gig speeds with sub-5ms latency and zero packet loss tolerance. Access points will connect dozens of devices simultaneously while minimizing power consumption. The technology will support consumer devices and emerging applications including Extended Reality, cloud gaming, real-time 3D environments, and tactile/haptic technologies. Industry alignment around clear performance goals and use-case-driven requirements is essential for successful development.
