Regarding Wi-Fi in the past year, the most heard word should be Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 (original name: 802.11.ax) is the sixth-generation wireless network technology and the name of the Wi-Fi standard. It is a wireless LAN technology created by the Wi-Fi Alliance in the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wi-Fi 6 will allow communication with up to 8 devices with a maximum rate of 9.6Gbps. Wi-Fi 6 will be launched on September 16, 2019.
Wi-Fi 6 has been more than a year since its birth, but many people are still stuck in the era of Wi-Fi 5. This is because Wi-Fi 6 requires device support, the flagship device on the market Basically, they support Wi-Fi 6, but the routers at home are still 2.4GHz and 5GHz standards. There are more smart devices in the home. When multiple devices are connected, it is inevitable that there will be slow image loading, video freezes, and games. Frame drop and other issues, so Wi-Fi 6 was born, and the above-mentioned situation can also be well resolved.
Wi-Fi 6 will bring higher data rates, larger capacity, and higher energy efficiency. Wi-Fi 6 has four main improvements-high bandwidth, high concurrency, and low time Delay, low power consumption, especially now that the popularization of smart homes and more and more networked devices, the advantages of Wi-Fi 6 become more obvious.
Wi-Fi 6E has already arrived before everyone has used Wi-Fi 6. The speed of technological development is a bit caught off guard. From the point of view of the name, it only has an extra E, which represents Is "Extended", which means extended. A new frequency band has been added to the original 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands: the 6GHz frequency band.
Simply put, it is upgraded to support the 6GHz frequency band, and is compatible with 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz tri-band. Some old equipment in the home is also supported, and devices with higher network requirements can use higher frequency bands. Have a better network experience.
Wi-Fi 6E has larger capacity and throughput on the basis of the 6th generation, and is more friendly to the support of multiple devices, especially in high-density places, which can effectively reduce the mutual interference of the device home.
A few days ago, MediaTek announced that its Wi-Fi 6E chipset has been selected as the Wi-Fi 6E test platform of the Wi-Fi Alliance. This means that MediaTek is actively participating in the customization of international standards and has the right to speak in standard customization. In a sense, it can eliminate technical barriers, become a contributor to the latest global technical standards, and exert its influence.
Wi-Fi 6E will greatly improve everyone's network experience, especially in the future era of Internet of Everything, it will play an important role and task, it is quite expected.
