MLO: Unlocking the Multi-Link Era of Wi-Fi 7
MLO (Multi-Link Operation) is one of the most revolutionary features of Wi-Fi 7. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi, MLO allows devices to establish parallel connections across multiple frequency bands (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz) simultaneously, instead of relying on a single path for data transmission. This breakthrough technology ushers wireless networking into a brand-new “multi-lane highway” era.
Key Benefits of MLO
1.Ultra-High Speed & Enhanced Throughput
By aggregating multiple frequency bands at the same time, MLO significantly boosts overall network capacity. It breaks through single-band limitations and achieves multi-gigabit speeds, making it ideal for ultra-HD video streaming, VR/AR, and industrial IoT.
2.Low Latency & Fast Response
MLO intelligently selects the optimal link for real-time data transmission, reducing delays caused by frequent band switching. For latency-sensitive applications such as cloud gaming, remote control, and industrial automation, MLO delivers a wired-like performance.
3.Strong Reliability & Interference Resistance
Even if one band experiences congestion or interference, other links can seamlessly take over, ensuring uninterrupted communication. This “multi-path redundancy” greatly enhances network stability, which is critical for industrial environments, smart cities, and emergency communication.
4.Flexible Traffic Distribution
Different types of data can be assigned to the most suitable link. For example, high-speed downloads can run on the 6GHz band, low-latency services on the 5GHz band, and low-power IoT devices on the 2.4GHz band—enabling fine-grained traffic scheduling and energy optimization.
