What is Wi-Fi 6E?
Introduced by the Wi-Fi Alliance, Wi-Fi 6E is a future standard that extends Wi-Fi 6 (also known as 802.11ax) and supports operation in the unlicensed 6 GHz band in addition to the currently supported 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. 802.11ax functionality.
In addition to the additional 1200 MHz of spectrum in the 6 GHz band available for Wi-Fi applications, Wi-Fi 6E devices will operate in an additional 14 80 MHz channels and an additional seven 160 MHz channels. This broader spectrum helps simplify network design, enabling ultimate Wi-Fi performance with higher throughput and wider channels while eliminating the need to support older devices, reducing network congestion.
Leveraging this spread spectrum capacity at 6 GHz opens the door to continued innovation in Wi-Fi user experiences and connected devices. The Wi-Fi 6E standard further enhances the user experience of 802.11ax networks with faster, more reliable Wi-Fi networks. Such networks are designed to handle soaring device density and high-bandwidth applications.
Improving user experience with Wi-Fi 6E
As the need for more devices to connect continues to grow, Wi-Fi 6E will enable enterprises and service providers to support emerging applications and maintain optimal performance for every connected device.
The introduction of Wi-Fi 6E addresses the shortage of Wi-Fi spectrum by providing additional and continuous channel bandwidth to support the growing number of devices at an unprecedented speed. By adding 1200 MHz to the 6 GHz band, it will enable businesses to deliver faster, more reliable enterprise Wi-Fi networks. These networks will be highly scalable and resilient, with a simplified architecture that increases the ability to support more users at gigabit speeds, even in very congested environments with numerous mobile and IoT devices .
Wi-Fi 6E further improves network capacity and efficiency to meet the higher throughput needs of mission-critical applications. Today, vendors can start developing access points and mobile devices using the original Wi-Fi 6E chipsets. Wi-Fi 6E products are already available. As client devices (which often lag chipset development) become more widespread, organizations with requirements beyond 802.11ax may initiate migration projects.
How does Wi-Fi 6E work?
Wi-Fi 6E offers all the features and functionality of 802.11ax, but does so by operating on the 6 GHz band. 802.11ax not only increases network speeds, but also incorporates innovative technologies to improve overall network performance when connecting large numbers of devices running high-bandwidth, low-latency applications.
Wi-Fi 6E networks will provide increased capacity with 14 additional 80 MHz channels and 7 additional 160 MHz channels operating in the 6 GHz band, while leveraging the following existing 802.11ax capabilities:
-
8x8 uplink/downlink MU-MIMO, OFDMA and BSS Color to increase capacity up to four times to handle more devices.
-
Target wake time (TWT) that improves network efficiency and extends device battery life, including IoT devices.
-
1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Mode (1024-QAM), which increases throughput of emerging bandwidth-intensive applications by transmitting more data in the same amount of spectrum.
