The Benefits of Wi-Fi 6/6e (802.11ax)

Wi-Fi 6/6e offers an array of benefits, but the biggest differentiator from Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) is the ability to support dozens of high-bandwidth connections at a time. Wi-Fi 6/6e users can confidently and simultaneously host video calls, participate in webinars, attend online school, stream entertainment and game without a hitch.
  • Support of more simultaneous devices – Users can game, learn, work, stream entertainment, etc. concurrently without sacrificing stream quality or speed
  • Faster wireless speed – Up to 4x higher throughput in dense environments than the previous version of Wi-Fi
  • Stronger wireless signal – Wi-Fi 6/6e offers an extended range and more robust signals in outdoor environments
  • A more secure network – WPA3, a major security upgrade, makes networks harder to hack
  • Improved battery life – Wi-Fi 6/6e devices don’t need to communicate with routers as frequently, resulting in better battery life

How to Ensure Wi-Fi 6/6e Readiness

What to look at:

  • Test your devices at a test house to understand how a device performs in a real-world environment, using a mix of clients, loads and protocols​
  • Understand device characterization and performance by utilizing both controlled (chamber) and semi-controlled (test house) environments
  • Understand how multiple access points coordinate device traffic as they traverse the network​
  • Measure the performance of mesh and extender deployments versus single AP deployments
  • Analyze how a device performs at different angles and positions
