Wi Fi 6: H. Wi-Fi Alliance started on Monday a new era with the launch of the Wi-Fi Certified 6 program.
Wi-Fi 6 (also known as 802.11ax) was officially introduced with speeds up to 37% faster than the previous generation of Wi-Fi (802.11ac), increased bandwidth for higher performance with low latency, greater network capacity, and support MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) for greater performance λήψηon multiple devices at the same time.
Edgar Figueroa, president and CEO of Wi-Fi Alliance, said:
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 ushers in a new era in Wi-Fi for better performance in any environment for the users, greater network capacity for service providers to improve their customer coverage and new opportunities for advanced applications. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 will offer improvements in connectivity, even in high-density locations and IoT environments.
Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 also supports the latest generation of Wi-Fi security, WPA3. It supports Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) to increase network efficiency and reduce both Download and Upload latency in high demand environments. It supports it target wake time (TWT) to significantly improve battery life on Wi-Fi devices and the quadrature amplitude modulation (1024-QAM) function to increase availability on Wi-Fi devices.
