Wi-Fi 6, the sixth generation of the Wi-Fi standard, introduces key 5G technologies, such as Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), uplink Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), and higher-order coding 1,024-QAM. Wi-Fi 6 achieves four times higher network bandwidth and four times more concurrent users than Wi-Fi 5, as well as reducing the average network latency from 30 milliseconds to 20 milliseconds. Huawei experts are chairpersons of five 802.11 standard working groups. With such extensive understanding and strong expertise in 5G technologies, Huawei is a major contributor to Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards.
Do You Need Wi-Fi 6?
Digital spaces are now using vast numbers of IoT terminals, requiring seamless Wi-Fi coverage
AR, VR, MR, and other immersive applications require Wi-Fi networks with high bandwidth and ultra-low latency
The application of autonomous decision-making robots relies on Wi-Fi networks with zero packet loss and 100% stability
4K ultra-HD video conferencing anytime, anywhere
Each participant in a 4K video conference needs 40 Mbit/s of bandwidth. The 1,024-QAM Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) delivers a stable, ultra-HD video experience to more than a dozen locations.
Ultra-high concurrency
Support for manufacturing and fast, seamless roaming
Connecting hundreds of terminals per time slice with overlapping coordination that multiplies the connections to many thousands, Wi-Fi 6 is ideal for enterprises that need stable connections to lots of locations. In particular, manufacturing enterprises benefit from the industry-standard technologies used by Wi-Fi 6 to ensure high concurrent capacity, transmission efficiency, and continuous operation
Ultra-low latency
10 ms latency for quick VR response
For Virtual Reality (VR) to seem real, it needs to respond really fast. The new Wi-Fi 6 transmission protocol, with OFDMA technology, reduces the latency by 60 percent compared to Wi-Fi 5 and ensures an immersive VR experience for every user.
- Compared with Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) achieves 4-fold increases in both network bandwidth and user concurrency. Meanwhile, Huawei AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 products support 5G-powered antenna and algorithm technologies to reduce the network latency from 30 ms to 10 ms. This allows smooth VR/AR teaching without user dizziness, wireless 4K HD conferences, and zero packet loss during the AGV roaming, accelerating the digital transformation of enterprises in various sectors.
