WiFi 7 set to dominate as prices dropAccording to a recently published report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries,WiFi 7 adoption is expected to peak in 2029, at a rate not seen since the zenith of WiFi 4 in 2013. “Enterprise purchases of WiFi 7 have shot up since early 2025. All major vendors have full portfolios of the new technology, and the price is unusually low,” says Siân Morgan, research director at Dell’Oro Group. “Low prices may not continue for long however, if component shortages, caused by the AI boom, begin to cause problems for WiFi vendors. Otherwise, we may see prices increase and order backlogs grow, perhaps even a rerun of the post-pandemic market upheaval.”Additional highlights from Dell’Oro’s Wireless LAN Five-Year January 2026 Forecast Report include:
