MediaTek has collaborated with to discuss why ultra-high reliability (UHR) is the key technology that differentiates Wi-Fi 8, which is projected to begin certification in 2028. UHR is expected to become a major user experience upgrade as the number of devices in our homes, workplaces, and surrounding environments continues to grow, leading to an increasingly busy wireless landscape.
“User experience is key,” stated James C Chen, Vice President of Product Technology and Marketing at ĢƵ “In this day and age of real-time and latency sensitive applications highlighted by more Agentic AI, responsiveness, reliability and always-on connectivity mean more than another 1 or 2 Gbps of speed increases. You can continuously increase the horsepower of an engine but if it can’t translate that speed to the ground, then its of limited use. That’s the focus of Wi-Fi 8, putting Wi-Fi to better use.”
