For a world that’s become a connected hub, Wi-Fi 6 comes as a glimmer of hope for outstanding digital innovation of the internet. Officially known as 802.11ax, this sixth-generation wireless technology doesn’t just help keep multiple devices online but, rather, revolutionises capacity, speed, efficiency and security for users in a crowded space, in the comfort of home or in their workplace. Let’s explore the various changes Wi-Fi 6 brings to our connected lives.
Wi-Fi 6 (or 802.11ax) represents a significant advance over its parents, offering incredible speed and reliability, especially in areas with large numbers of connected devices. The technology is designed to deal with our modern digital needs, so that our scrolling, clicking and streaming are as smooth as possible.
The jump to Wi-Fi 6 is not a baby step, it’s a giant leap. If you choose to adopt the new standard, it’s not just that you’re upgrading your connectivity capabilities – it’s that you’re doing everything you can to keep up with an always evolving technological world. When your devices become Wi-Fi 6 capable, you’ll be sure you can keep up.
A set of Wi-Fi version numbers, introduced around the launches of Wi-Fi 6, makes these taxa easier to identify and move between, like the kid-friendly names in the Jungles of Costa Rica exhibit at your local zoo. If it sounds painless, that’s because it is. Consumers no longer need to know how wireless data is modulated. They only need to know which letter they should consult on their router, whether it be Wi-Fi 4 or Wi-Fi 7, to make sure that they have the best connection possible.
Wi-Fi 6’s defining feature is that it can transmit data faster than ever before. The new operating standard is like a highway with no cars (data packets) – instead, it creates an extra lane for all your data to travel on, making every online trip faster and smoother.
Besides being faster, Wi-Fi 6 comes with a smart feature called ‘target wake time’ that promises to conserve your devices’ batteries. This upgraded Wi-Fi allows your devices to nap like drowsy students, waking them up only when necessary and saving them energy. With its smart, power-saving abilities, Wi-Fi 6 extends the lifespan of our connected gadgets.
Wi-Fi 6 is the conductor for a chaotic orchestra, navigating congested networks to allow for thousands of devices to connect at once. No matter if you’re in a packed stadium or a cafe, Wi-Fi 6 ensures that your connection won’t falter, making it the foundation for success in crowded places.
However, Wi-Fi 6 doesn’t only make your connection faster. It also makes your connection more secure, with WPA3 being the most recent WPA security protocol. Picture it as a digital armour meant for your internet connection as you surf the web or transact online.
All you have to do to make the jump from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 is replace your router, a straightforward switch that will vault you into the exciting new world of Wi-Fi 6, ushering in faster, more efficient life in the digital realm.
And in the wide world of gadgetry, from smartphones to smart homes, one is now pretty much guaranteed Wi-Fi 6 support, while looking for ‘Wi-Fi 6 Certified’ is akin to ensuring your device remains well-connected and respectable.
Wi-Fi 6E builds on Wi-Fi 6’s success by using the 6GHz band to deliver even faster and less congested connectivity – and Wi-Fi 7, which is on the horizon, will push the boundaries even further yet. The steady progression towards a smarter, faster and safer future is relentless.
Connectivity truly is the lifeblood of our current digital age, and Wi-Fi 6 at the core of this connective ecosystem is the beating heart. The faster and more reliable connection it provides to the world today takes us further and allows us to not just experience but also transform the way we live, work and play in the digital world. Wi-Fi 6 isn’t just a technological breakthrough, it’s a journey to the future where our lives are fully immersed in the digital world, so every connect is not just a connection, it’s an experience.
