J:COM Showcases Wi-Fi 8 Trial Findings at CEATEC 2026
J:COM is presenting its R&D Center's work at CEATEC 2026, including test results showing Wi-Fi 8 transferring about 1GB faster than Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6E.
J:COM is presenting the activities of its R&D Center at CEATEC 2026, including the results of a Wi-Fi 8 demonstration experiment, according to internet.watch.impress.co.jp. The exhibit shows how the next-generation wireless standard performs compared with earlier versions in a home environment.
In the experiment, conducted in a detached house with different reception conditions, J:COM compared the transfer speed of an approximately 1GB video file while an interference wave was generated on the same frequency. The comparison video showed Wi-Fi 6E completing the download in about 32 seconds, Wi-Fi 7 in about 22 seconds, and Wi-Fi 8 in about 16 seconds.
J:COM established its R&D Center in April 2026 to conduct medium- and long-term research and technology development. The company also announced at the time of the center's establishment that it would carry out Wi-Fi 8 demonstration experiments starting in June 2026.
The experiments were conducted in cooperation with MediaTek, using a rented detached house in Tokyo to verify the effects of functions that make communication bandwidth more efficient.
