What is WiFi6?

WiFi 6 (formerly: IEEE 802.11.ax) is the sixth generation of wireless network technology and is the name of the Wi-Fi standard. It is a wireless local area network technology created by the Wi-Fi Alliance based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wi-Fi 6 will allow communication with up to 8 devices at a maximum rate of 9.6Gbps.

Wi-Fi 6 mainly uses technologies such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output). MU-MIMO technology allows routers to communicate with multiple devices at the same time instead of Communication is performed in sequence. MU-MIMO allows the router to communicate with four devices (terminals) at once, while Wi-Fi 6 will allow it to communicate with up to eight devices simultaneously.
In addition, Wi-Fi 6 also utilizes other technologies, such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technology and transmit beamforming, which are used to improve transmission efficiency and network transmission capacity, respectively. The OFDMA system can dynamically divide the available bandwidth resources to the users who actually need it, and it is very easy to realize the optimal utilization of the system resources.
