Many companies have begun preparing to support “Wi-fi 6”, which is increasing in popularity day after day, and which provides faster Internet and data transmission.

The efficiency of Wi-Fi networks is an essential component of digital development, as the number of devices connected to the Internet will reach more than 80 billion by 2025. Therefore, it is important to develop Wi-Fi technologies to match the new technology that needs faster Internet browsing speeds.

faster speed

Wi-fi 6 provides faster speed compared to the previous generation. While the current fifth generation provides a speed of up to 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, which is 600 times the speed of the first generation of Wi-Fi that was provided in 1997, “Wifi 6” provides greater speed compared to the fifth generation, as the transmission rate reaches Data is up to 1.1 Gbps over the 2.4 GHz band, and up to 4.8 Gbps over the 5 GHz band, knowing that the maximum speed can reach 9.6 Gbps.

better performance

Among the most prominent advantages provided by the sixth generation of WiFi is the support for obtaining stable speeds and better communication performance or a strong signal in crowded environments, where a large crowd, whether in a sporting event or conference, or in universities, airports or hotels, can get a better and more stable Internet speed. Wifi 6 also improves the performance of networks in homes that contain a large number of devices, so that in the future it is expected that most homes will contain many devices connected to the Internet or smart devices, including smart bells, refrigerators, microwaves, and others.

Longer battery life

The sixth generation of Wi-Fi supports Target Alert Time, a feature that provides longer battery life for both smartphones, laptops and other devices. For example, when a device such as a smartphone is now connected to a 6G Wi-Fi network, the router or hotspot can tell the device or phone when it can turn on or off the Wi-Fi feature to receive data, which means more sleep or idle time, This results in a longer battery life.
