Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi 7 vs 5G: Which Next-Gen Wireless Will Rule 2025?

Li-Fi vs Wi-Fi 7 vs 5G: Which Next-Gen Wireless Will Rule 2025?

The IEEE 802.11bb Li-Fi standard was ratified in mid-2023, providing a global framework for interoperable Li-Fi devices. PureLiFi’s Light Antenna One module can deliver about 1 Gbps at distances from 20 cm to roughly 3 m using standard LED sources. Lab demonstrations have surpassed 100 Gbps with Li-Fi, with a cited test reaching 224 Gbps in lab conditions. Real-world Li-Fi speeds are around 1 Gbps, and Li-Fi is positioned as a complementary technology to Wi-Fi rather than a replacement. Wi‑Fi 7, known as 802.11be, began certification in 2024, and by 2025 the first Wi‑Fi 7 routers, mesh systems, and client

Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router Showdown: Eero Max 7 vs. Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro 7 vs. TP-Link Deco BE95 – Which Reigns Supreme in 2025?

Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router Showdown: Eero Max 7 vs. Google Nest Wi-Fi Pro 7 vs. TP-Link Deco BE95 – Which Reigns Supreme in 2025?

TP-Link Deco BE95 is a quad-band Wi‑Fi 7 system with BE33000 up to 33 Gbps theoretical throughput across four bands, two 6 GHz radios, a 16‑stream (4×4) setup, 12 internal antennas, plus a SFP+ option and a USB 3.0 port. The Eero Max 7 is a tri‑band Wi‑Fi 7 router with about 20.8 Gbps combined theoretical throughput (BE20800) and up to 4.3 Gbps wireless link rate to a single client. Google’s Nest Wi‑Fi Pro 7 had not been officially announced by August 2025, but is expected to be tri‑band like the current Nest Wi‑Fi Pro 6E, which offered 5.4 Gbps

Home Internet Revolution: Mesh Networks, Quantum Links & Wi-Fi 7 Are About to Change Everything

By 2024, whole-home mesh systems were expected to account for about 47.6% of all home router sales. Netgear’s Orbi 970 (late 2024) and Orbi 870 (early 2025) mesh systems use Wi‑Fi 7 tri‑/quad‑band designs to deliver 20–27 Gbps and support 150–200 devices. Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) can reach up to about 23 Gbps on a single band, uses 320 MHz channels and 4096-QAM, and employs Multi-Link Operation for simultaneous multi-band backhaul. In 2025, Deutsche Telekom’s T-Labs achieved entangled photon transmission over 30 km of fiber with 99% fidelity for 17 days and demonstrated 82 km total distance with 92% fidelity. In

Global Next-Gen Networking Developments (June–July 2025): 5G, 6G & Wi‑Fi 7 News Roundup

Global telecom equipment revenues fell about 11% in 2024 and are expected to be essentially flat in 2025 as market conditions stabilize per Dell’Oro Group. MTN Consulting projects global telecom capex declining from $314 billion in 2023 to about $280 billion by 2028. Ericsson’s June 2025 Mobility Report projects 5G subscriptions reaching about 2.9 billion by end of 2025, roughly one-third of all mobile subscriptions, with potential to reach 6.3 billion by 2030. 5G networks are expected to carry 80% of global mobile data traffic by 2030, up from about 35% at the end of 2024. Over 80% of surveyed
