IPQ9574 and QCN9274: Explore the WiFi7 MLO feature Test with Wallys DR9274

What is MLO?

MLO enhances the efficiency of channel usage for both Access Points (#AP) and clients, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data across multiple channels. Whether we are streaming videos, making video calls, or simply browsing the internet, our reliance on fast and reliable wireless connections is crucial. However, when multiple devices compete for limited bandwidth, causing congestion and reducing performance, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) emerges as a potential solution.

MLO is a feature that empowers Wi-Fi Access Points (APs) and clients to transmit and receive data across multiple channels or frequencies simultaneously. Its primary goals are to reduce latency during network congestion and increase overall throughput by aggregating multiple links.
