What is Wi-Fi 6?

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

Wi-Fi 6 is also called 802.11ax, which is the latest-generation Wi-Fi industry standard after Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). The performance of Wi-Fi 6 has been improved by leaps and bounds. Compared with Wi-Fi 5, the bandwidth and the number of concurrent users have increased by 4 times, with lower latency and more energy saving.

What problem does Wi-Fi 6 solve?

Wi-Fi 6 was originally designed to cope with high-density wireless access and high-capacity wireless services, such as outdoor large-scale public places, high-density venues, indoor high-density wireless office, electronic classrooms and other scenarios.

In these scenarios, the client devices that access the Wi-Fi network will show a huge increase. In addition, the ever-increasing voice and video traffic will also bring adjustments to the Wi-Fi network. As we all know, 4K video stream (bandwidth requirement 50Mbps/person), voice stream (delay less than 30ms), VR stream (bandwidth requirement 75Mbps/person, delay less than 15ms) are very sensitive to bandwidth and delay, if the network is congested or Transmission delay caused by retransmission will have a greater impact on user experience.

Wi-Fi 6 Vs Wi-Fi 5

Wi-Fi 6 is the successor of Wi-Fi 5. Compared with Wi-Fi 5, it is not only reflected in the speed improvement, but also mainly reflected in the user performance improvement in high-density scenarios.
