Book Description
The author notes that in 2019, Wi-Fi technology celebrated its 20th birthday, and it is hard to believe it has been around for 22 years. The text explains that beginning in 2021, Wi-Fi is making a massive leap into the 6 GHz frequency band.
The book describes how previous generations of Wi-Fi focused on increasing data rates and speed, while Wi-Fi 6 (also known as 802.11ax) represents a new generation with a focus on efficiency and performance. The author states that the Wi-Fi Alliance began certifying this technology in August 2019 under the name Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6, and that Wi-Fi 6 technology is all about better and more efficient use of the existing radio frequency medium. It is explained that Wi-Fi 6 handles client density more efficiently through a new channel-sharing capability and uses a new client power-saving mechanism to improve battery life.
The author presents both Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E as part of a wireless paradigm shift toward infinitely distributed connectivity, necessary for enterprises that need to connect anybody, anywhere. The book indicates that this technology and the new 1,200 MHz of 6 GHz spectrum offer an enhanced user experience across all enterprise verticals.
In this book, the reader learns about Wi-Fi 6 efficiency enhancements, the value of the technology as it moves into the 6 GHz spectrum, and the real-world implications of this historic evolution of Wi-Fi technology.
