Wi-Fi 6 | The new generation of the Wireless Technology.

Today’s all tech users, people and IT professional are moving towards the Wireless Technology. Since the Wi-Fi invented, The number of Wi-Fi users are increasing day by day. Whether it is office or home, we give priority to use of Wireless network because it can be accessed from anywhere within the range that the Wi-Fi devices provide. There is still apathy among people regarding its speed, as wired networks provide very good service in terms of speed.

Lets know the previous Generations Wi-Fi to Understand the Wi-Fi 6.

Wi-Fi standard 802.11n (belongs to 802.11 standard family) known as Wi-Fi 4 released on 2009 has a wider radio frequency channel. It can provide speed upto 600 Mb/s. Today the current standard is IEEE 802.11ac which is Wi-Fi 5.

 Understanding Wi-Fi 6

It is developed by the the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Wi-Fi 6 or Standard IEEE 802.11ax is upgrade and newer version of 802.11 standard family. Its a 6^th version of 802.11 that’s why we called it Wi-Fi 6 which is about 40% faster than previous version of Wi-Fi 5 means that it can hold more data and information on each signal it sends. Now the people are moving on to upgrade the office’s Wi-Fi. You we require the device that support the Wi-Fi standard 802.11ax to take benefit of Wi-Fi 6.

What is the Benefit of Wi-Fi 6

Wi-Fi 6 is a faster than the Wi-Fi we are currently using in our mobile and devices. It gives better experience than we experience on the congested area like airport and public places where we faces slow down due to number of user increased. It supports more than 255 user at a time connected to Wi-Fi router. Resulting we can enjoy the 4k streaming on our TV/smart-phones without latency, buffering and slow down.

Currently most of the smart-phones and devices don’t support Wi-Fi 6. Only the Smart-phones like Samsung Galaxy S10 and iPhone 11 comes with Wi-Fi 6
