According to Wi-Fi 8 Qualcomm, multi-access point coordination and seamless roaming will bring many improvements in performance and reliability. The next wireless standard is currently being developed as part of the ‘Ultra High Credibility’ (UHR) initiative in collaboration with various firms, including the US chipmaker. The standard for Wi-Fi 8 is not expected to be finalized by 2028, but Qualcomm has already revealed the improvement in reliability of the wireless network that is expected to come up with Wi-Fi 8.
Wi-Fi 8 seamless roaming, to improve the reliability of the network with low delay
Qualcomm, citing IEEE scope document, says that Wi-Fi will offer 8 improvement Such as the P95 improved in the wandering between low -throopoots in crowded areas, and access points. Wi-Fi 8 will also improve the power efficiency and improve the “wired grade” reliability, the Peer-to-Pier (P2P) will improve communication.

Wi-Fi 7 (IEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.11Be), the latest Wi-Fi networking standard, already offers several performance improvements on Wi-Fi 6, including features such as rapid transmission rates and flexible channel uses. It was developed under a highly high throopoot (EHT) initiative, focused on improving indoor and outdoor operations.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm says that the UHR initiative focuses on improving the reliability of the wireless network, while Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6 provided better performance and efficiency respectively. Chipmakers also highlight new types of wireless devices, which are expected to be widely used in the coming years, including the enhanced reality (AR) glasses and other wearbals. Qualcomm, Samsung and Google are also working on a pair of AR glasses.
Five major areas where Wi-Fi 8 is expected to offer more reliable network performance, including many access points (seamless roaming), more power efficiency Go access points and client devices, better co-existence with other wireless protocols, better co-existence, better edge performance as well as coordination in high-gradation.
IEEEEE802.11BN standard is still in development, and is expected to finalize it only in March 2028. However, both Qualcomm and MediaTek have postponed the benefits of the Wi-Fi 8 network, and to pursue their efforts to contribute to the upcoming wireless standard, which is likely to support at the end of the equipment at the end of the dick.
