4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4096-QAM or 4K-QAM) is the latest modulation scheme used in Wi-Fi 7. This modulation scheme allows for the transmission of higher data rates by encoding more bits per symbol compared to its predecessors. Zebra Wi-Fi 7 devices support 4K-QAM, enabling a 20 % higher data rate compared to Wi-Fi 6. This enhancement allows Wi-Fi 7 to deliver ultra-fast speeds, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications.
The following chart compares the performance of the data rate for bandwidth (2x2 radio) between Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7.
