There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
The renewed focus on reliability is motivated by emerging applications. Imagine a wireless factory robot in a situation where a worker suddenly steps in front of it and the robot needs to make an immediate decision.
No! You should never use wireless link as part of a decision making system for a robot. It must be done localy with a dedicated real time system. If you can not do it then pay a human to do the work.
You know - and this is a radical idea that nobody working on the wifi standard has contemplated yet - we could, like, improve more than just one thing per iteration, perhaps. Last time I checked, EA wasn’t at the helm of this operations, we don’t need yearly releases. How about you go away and come back in like 5 years with an actual reason to upgrade my shit. Thanks.
Did you read the article? There is a laundry list of improvements made in WiFi 7 other than MLO
Tbf the only reasons to read an article these days is to either shit on how bad the headline is, note how little meaningful information it has, and/or post a tl;Dr.
speaking of, where is the tldr bot
I wish they focused more on extending the range. If my LTE or GPS antenna can extend to a few hundred meters why shouldn’t why WiFi antenna too?
