The next generation of Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi 6!
Wi-Fi technology has received a new standard for wireless communication 802.11ax or Wi-Fi 6. The latest generation of Wi-Fi brings a lot of innovations that solve the shortcomings of the currently most used standard 802.11ac.
Wi-Fi 6 also improves existing functionality to respond to the ever-increasing demands of clients for wireless network connectivity. So what does this new generation of Wi-Fi bring us?
Wi-Fi 6 provides more reliable wireless communication, which enables the provision of various services for voice, data or video transmissions in your wireless network. Like every new generation, it brings an increase in speed up to 10 Gb/s . But the higher speed is not the most significant change. Wi-Fi 6, also referred to as high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW, from the English High Efficiency Wireless), makes it possible to provide high speeds and better signal coverage even in places with a high concentration of clients, while there is no radical deterioration of the provided service with an increasing number of users as it was with previous generations. To achieve greater efficiency and improve your corporate wireless network, Wi-Fi 6 uses four basic technical aspects, which we will take a closer look at:
- Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
- BSS Coloring
- Target Wake Time (TWT)
- Multiple Users Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)
