Wi-Fi 8 Is Coming and It’s Going to Make AI a Lot Faster
Also reported on 20 October 2025, an analysis by Broadcom and published in NetworkWorld outlines how the upcoming Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) standard is being designed with AI workloads in mind Unlike previous Wi-Fi versions that focused on peak speed, Wi-Fi 8 prioritises low latency, symmetric upload/download and coordinated access points—elements crucial for edge AI and distributed intelligence. The implication: as networks evolve, the infrastructure supporting AI will improve markedly, enabling more responsive and capable AI systems at the edge. The significance: behind-the-scenes but foundational for the next wave of AI applications.
