WiFi 6 & 6E are Here
Introducing WiFi 6E
WiFi 6 has set the foundation for a new generation of WiFi by providing significant technological updates compared to previous WiFi standards. CSPs can benefit from WiFi 6 by addressing overall congested WiFi network issues, negative customer experiences like choppy video calls and slow download speeds, and future-proofing their networks.
However, WiFi 6E takes it a step further in terms of improvements in WiFi capacity, performance, and efficiency.
WiFi 6E is the latest evolution in WiFi technology and is designed to provide even further improvements by providing access to the dedicated 6GHz frequency band. This allows for faster speeds, less interference, and a more reliable connection, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications like 8K video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality.

WiFi 6 FAQ
What will End Users notice?
End users will enjoy faster speeds on busy networks. Since WiFi 6 is still very new, end users will not be able to take advantage of the benefits of a WiFi 6 Gateway until their devices are also WiFi 6-enabled. This includes phones, laptops, etc.
What does it mean for the Service provider?
While there is no quick, universal adoption coming, you have time to transition to a WiFi 6 Gateway before mainstream usage. Ideally, Service Providers should stay ahead of home and business customers, first with information, then with appropriate changes to the network or, in this case, the Gateway.

What You Should Know
There is a new standard in WiFi called WiFi 6. It aims to not only boost WiFi speeds for end users, but also improve the way the WiFi networks function by adding substantially higher capacity, better coverage and reducing congestion to deliver a better user experience.
Key Benefits
Increase Efficiency
with OFDMA
Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) enables users to simultaneously operate in the same channel and therefore improves efficiency, latency, and throughput.
Optimize Coverage
with Transmit Beamforming
Transmit beamforming improves signal power resulting in significantly higher rates at a given range.
More Data Packets Per Symbol
with 1024-QAM
1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode (1024-QAM) enables throughput increases by as much as 25% over WiFi 5.
Connect More Devices Simultaneously
With MU-MIMO
Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) allows more data to be transferred at once and enables an access point to handle a larger number of concurrent clients.
Reduce Power Consumption
With Target Wake Time
Target Wake Time (TWT) allows for resource scheduling which significantly improves device battery life.
