The future of Wi-Fi will expand into the 6GHz band as well as be speedier.
Per the WiFi Alliance, the Wi-Fi 6 protocol will extend into the 6 GHz band as well as offer faster performance, faster data rates, and lower latency.
The agency also stated that the new protocol would be entitled “Wi-Fi 6E,” and offered the following comments:
Wi-Fi 6E devices are expected to become available quickly following 6 GHz regulatory approvals, utilizing this additional spectrum capacity to deliver continuous Wi-Fi innovation and valuable contributions to consumers, businesses and economies.
Wi-Fi Alliance: “We’re moving away from 802.11.xx because that’s too confusing.”
Not a bad idea to move away from the “802.11.xx” naming, as this sort of makes people’s eyes glaze over when you try to explain it to them.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
