As technology advances, the demand for faster, more reliable, and higher-capacity wireless networks grows exponentially. At CNI Sales, we understand the importance of staying ahead in this evolving landscape. That’s why we’re excited to highlight how Extreme Networks, a trusted partner and leader in wireless networking solutions, is pioneering the next generation of connectivity with Wi-Fi 7.
Addressing Modern Connectivity Challenges
Wi-Fi 7 is set to revolutionize the wireless networking landscape by addressing critical pain points associated with the previous generations of Wi-Fi technology. Jon Fox, Systems Engineer for CNI Sales, believes Wi-Fi 7 is the answer to many of the most common Wi-Fi issues businesses experience: “Wi-Fi 7 has a lot to offer in the enterprise wireless space. I’m most excited about the new Multi-Link Operation (MLO) features in Wi-Fi 7.
“The ability to create a wireless link aggregation across different bands is groundbreaking. In an ideal deployment, this will lead to higher throughput and more resilient connectivity by leveraging two or more simultaneous connections on completely different frequency bands.”

Here’s how:
Enhanced Network Capacity and Performance
In high-density environments like corporate offices, educational institutions, and public venues, network congestion significantly impacts connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 alleviates this issue by supporting multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technology and advanced spatial reuse techniques.
These features optimize spectrum utilization, ensuring smoother and more reliable connectivity even in densely populated areas. David Coleman, Director of Wireless Networking at the Office of the CTO for Extreme Networks, had this to say, “Strong and stable Wi-Fi is embedded into American culture and has become an expectation, especially within higher education. The era of 6 GHz connectivity and mobility that began with Wi-Fi6e continues with Wi-Fi 7.”
CNI embraces partnerships like the one with Extreme Networks to bring Wi-Fi 7 to all businesses.
Improved Latency and Reliability
For applications requiring real-time data transmission, such as online gaming, video conferencing, and industrial automation, latency and reliability are crucial. Wi-Fi 7 introduces technologies like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and enhanced scheduling algorithms to reduce latency and maintain consistent network performance. This low-latency connectivity opens up new possibilities for innovative applications across various sectors
