What is WiFi 6E?
WiFi 6E builds on the existing WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard. Wi-Fi 6E offers all of the cutting-edge features of Wi-Fi 6 and allows access to a new 6GHz wireless band. This combination of Wi-Fi 6 technology and access to a brand new, empty WiFi band exclusive to Wi-Fi 6E devices makes Wi-Fi 6E one of the most important developments in wireless technology.
1. More high-bandwidth channels
Wi-Fi 6E expands on the spectrum and bandwidth improvements of Wi-Fi 6 with the addition of a 6GHz band. This wireless band is much wider than the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and can support up to 14 80MHz channels or 7 160MHz channels. This means more capacity for high-bandwidth activities like 4k and 8k gaming, virtual reality applications, and video conferencing.
2.Less interference and network congestion
The 6GHz wireless band is newly certified and is exclusive to devices that support Wi-Fi 6E. This means that on 6GHz, the WiFi network doesn’t need to slow down to accommodate legacy devices. Fewer devices, more spectrum, and more bandwidth means less interference and network congestion. Wi-Fi 6E devices can support the most bandwidth-heavy, low-latency applications without competing for bandwidth.
3.Improved security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) 3 is mandatory for all Wi-Fi 6 Certified devices operating in 6GHz. WPA3 is the latest Wi-Fi Alliance security certification. WPA3 provides the latest in security and authentication protocols. As a result, 6GHz WiFi traffic is more secure than ever and 6GHz networks are more difficult to hack.
What are the benefits of WiFi 6E?
Most of the benefits of WiFi 6E have to do with the fact that the 6GHz wireless band WiFi 6E offers is new and much larger than existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The 6GHz band is also exclusive to WiFi 6E devices. An empty band with a very large spectrum capacity means WiFi 6E devices can take full advantage of the available bandwidth, and don’t have to compete with traffic from other devices or networks.
The 6GHz band is essentially an optimized network where WiFi 6E devices can transmit data faster than ever. Now you can stream and game on your next-generation devices (Xbox Series X, PS5, high-end PCs) in 4K and 8K.
Additionally, WPA 3 is mandatory for all Wi-Fi 6 Certified devices operating in 6GHz. WPA3 is the latest Wi-Fi Alliance security certification. WPA3 provides the latest in security and authentication protocols. As a result, 6GHz WiFi traffic is more secure than ever and 6GHz networks are harder to hack.
As gaming, teleconferencing, and streaming technology advances, so does the need for wireless networks that can support these activities and devices. There are more devices than ever with large bandwidth needs, and WiFi 6E is designed to support the next generation of wireless technology.
