Understanding the Benefits and Implementation of Wi-Fi 6E

Published /Brazil

WiFi 6E

The implementation of Wi-Fi 6E must ensure that Wi-Fi technology is the best option in terms of cost and benefit to the user for broadband access. Despite not having the same efficiency in displacements, especially above 60 km/h, as 5G, the future version of Wi-Fi 7 technology should offer more robust results in this aspect.

The Wi-Fi 6E and 5G technologies should mainly relate in a harmonious way, thus the consumer will not identify the network change in the use of their smartphone, as well as buses and cars that receive the 5G signal can retransmit data to their occupants over the Wi-Fi network.

There is currently a 1.2 MHz allocation for Wi-Fi, which will allow the technology to work with up to seven 160 MHz-wide channels. It has been stated that about 1,200 devices can connect simultaneously on Wi-Fi 6E.
