Wi-Fi 6 provides high speeds, low latency, and high network density
Wi-Fi 6 is a new generation of Wi-Fi and will exist for a long time, perfectly matching the IoT industry’s growth trend. The capabilities over Wi-Fi 5 are substantial, and as such can support a range of innovative solutions such as automated guided vehicles, industrial robots, and many other compelling use cases. This paper explains market trends, major applications and Quectel’s offering in this rapidly growing area of the IoT.
Wi-Fi 6 can improve connectivity for enterprise by connecting large numbers of employees, guests, visitors, and customers securely, and increasing productivity and flexibility via a range of different devices. Meanwhile sports organizations are using it in conjunction with 5G to deliver more engaging, immersive stadium experiences while retailers are combining advanced wireless with IoT sensors and analytics to support smart inventory systems, optimize product pricing, and personalize shopping.
Wi-Fi 6 enables a maximum output of 9.6Gbps across multiple channels – a significant uplift over the 3.5Gbps offered by Wi-Fi 5, and that capacity is shared across more potential devices. It also offers improved latency by handling network traffic more efficiently using orthogonal frequency division multiple access, which provides support for high-density deployments, enabling more efficient allocation of bandwidth to multiple users simultaneously.
Quectel’s new range of Wi-Fi modules is designed to deliver faster, more secure and more robust Wi-Fi experiences than ever before, as well as new Bluetooth audio capabilities. When used in combination with our 5G modules, these offer superior performance for MiFi and CPE designed to ensure high-speed connections supporting up to 32 clients at a time, guaranteeing ultrareliable connections for multi-user scenarios such as smart homes, shopping malls, schools and factories.
As more and more consumer industries are now investing in the intersection of cutting edge Wi-Fi and 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 enterprise access point shipments will increase from 4.3m in 2021 to 13.4m in 2026, at a CAGR of 25%. The time for solution builders to plan for that market expansion is surely now – read our white paper to find out how.
