What is Wi-Fi 6?

Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation of Wi-Fi technology built with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and scope in mind. The difference between Wi-Fi 6 and earlier versions is that, while previous standards focused mainly on increasing raw data rates, this new generation focuses on better efficiency, capacity, and performance. 


Wi-Fi 6 is purpose-built for the connected world we live in today.

Better performance in congested areas

Businesses with high traffic or in condensed urban areas can often experience slow Wi-Fi. Many signals are sharing spectrum not designed to handle the kind of bandwidth strain that is common today. The various technologies that create Wi-Fi 6 make for better spectrum efficiency and increase the capacity to handle large amounts of devices.

Reduced power needs

Businesses can expect their IoT devices to use less power and have longer battery lives while on Wi-Fi 6, cutting down on the cost and time associated with keeping your devices powered up.

Latest security standards

Wi-Fi 6 contains an updated security protocol, WPA3, that provides greater defense against malicious cyberattacks. Help keep your sensitive data safe and keep yourself protected with the latest threats.
