CableLabs and Intel have completed Phase 2 of the Wi-Fi 7 Residential Field Trials under the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) Wi-Fi 7/8 program.
Building on Phase 1 evaluations of single-link throughput and coverage, this phase focused on validating the real-world performance of Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) in residential environments using commercial-grade equipment.
The trials confirm that Wi-Fi 7 MLO represents a fundamental architectural shift, moving Wi-Fi beyond peak speed claims toward reliability, continuity, and predictable performance in real homes.
