802.11be stands for IEEE 802.11be (Extremely High Throughput Wi-Fi), a telecom abbreviation.
IEEE amendment behind Wi-Fi 7, adding 320 MHz channels, 4096-QAM, multi-link operation and better handling of interference through preamble puncturing.
Example: The chipset implements 802.11be with multi-link operation across 5 and 6 GHz.
Usage notes
Preamble puncturing lets a router use most of a wide channel even when a slice of it is occupied by interference. The Wi-Fi Alliance markets compliant devices as Wi-Fi 7. Work on the following amendment, 802.11bn ("Ultra High Reliability"), targets a future Wi-Fi 8 focused on reliability rather than raw speed.
