Wi‑Fi 8 is taking shape as the next wireless standard, but unlike recent generations it is not aiming to raise peak speed or bandwidth. The IEEE is positioning it around "Ultra High Reliability" features that improve real-world throughput, latency, and packet loss in crowded or interference-heavy environments.
