Today, we build on that foundation and offer more flexibility to support future innovations in the six gigahertz band, everything from compelling AR VR applications to short range, hot spots and much more, our consumers, our economy and our innovators will all be better off for today's decision,
There's no guarantee the ROG NeoCore will actually launch -- at least not in its current form. Its icosahedron shape is visually striking. I've never seen a router look anything remotely like this. It's hard for me to imagine something like this fitting neatly on a side table or tucked behind the TV next to the modem. I suspect Asus will opt for a more practical, boxy design
Wi-Fi 8 introduces a technology known as Seamless Multi-Link Device (SMD) to address this issue. Instead of first disconnecting from the existing connection and then establishing a new one, a device with SMD first connects to the next access point before releasing the old connection. According to Broadcom, this approach results in approximately 25 percent less packet loss and a similar reduction in latency.
In a trial conducted alongside an unnamed industry partner, the company said data transmission using a "prototype" device. This test successfully validated both the Wi-Fi 8 beacon and data throughput, according to TP-Link. "This underscores the feasibility of the technology and marks a critical milestone in global Wi-Fi 8 development," the company said in a statement. "TP-Link is taking the next important step towards the highly reliable wireless performance that the industry requires, given the increasing availability of devices and bandwidth-intensive applications."
