What is WiFi 7?

From Spring 2026, ASK4 will install WiFi 7 as standard as part of our Network Infrastructure, but what exactly is WiFi 7?

The demands placed on building networks continue to increase. More residents, more devices, and greater reliance on wireless connectivity means consistency and reliability are now just as critical as headline speed.

ASK4’s decision to deploy WiFi 7 so soon in the standard’s lifecycle is driven by the need to deliver this high level of service as resident usage evolves. By integrating WiFi 7 into our Converged Building Network Infrastructure, ASK4 is strengthening the digital foundations of our clients’ buildings to support modern living today while preparing for the next phase of connectivity demands.

WiFi 7 is not a standalone upgrade. It is part of ASK4’s broader commitment to engineered, resilient, and future-ready connectivity across the Living Sector. 

WiFi 7 explained

WiFi 7 is the latest generation of wireless networking technology, following WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E. In practical terms, WiFi 7 is designed to manage increasing levels of demand more effectively. It improves how networks handle multiple simultaneous connections, helping to maintain stable, responsive performance as device density and usage continue to grow. WiFi 7 represents an evolution in efficiency and reliability, particularly when deployed as part of a well-designed, professionally engineered network. 

What WiFi 7 means for multi-tenant buildings

Multi-tenant environments present unique challenges for wireless connectivity. Networks must perform consistently across entire buildings, supporting hundreds or thousands of connected devices at any given time. 

WiFi 7 strengthens ASK4’s ability to deliver: 

• The most consistent performance during peak usage 
• Improved handling of multiple devices per apartment 
• Greater resilience as digital demand increases 
• A future-proof foundation for smart-building systems

WiFi 7 remains compatible with existing devices, while allowing additional benefits to be realised as WiFi 7-capable devices become more widespread.

What this means for ASK4 clients

For ASK4 clients, WiFi 7 represents a deliberate and practical step forward.

By delivering WiFi 7 as standard from Spring 2026, ASK4 enables operators, developers, and investors to future-proof their buildings without added complexity or cost. This approach reduces the risk of retrofit in the short to medium term, supports long-term asset value, and ensures infrastructure keeps up with evolving resident lifestyles.
