What's cool about WiFi 7

Crazy QAM, wide bandwidths, parallel links, spectral efficiency, and more

The fact that we can pull off 4096 QAM is amazing to me. I wonder just how much error correction is going on to get that reliable over the air.
- Honestly I just got WiFi 6 and with my first WiFi router with beam forming man this WiFi is crazy fast and reliable as heck.
  
  I'm not the only one late to the party then. I'm finally getting a WiFi 6 router from my ISP in a couple of weeks.
- 320mhz bandwidth is the real deal.
This article is excellent. Very clear and concise. It distills the extreme technicals of radio into something even I can understand, and gives the impacts of each of these features. 10/10
If you are interested in really understanding wifi technology, the difference between the various versions, practical considerations, and cutting through all the marketing hype, I'd highly recommend reading this website.
Is this the version that can detect objects and movement in the room?
- Wouldn't that be possible on every version with MIMO?
  
  Maybe but depends the resolution desired. I think it'll depend on the bandwidth and how many antennas.
