WiFi 6 | High Speed Internet Service is Coming


The tech world is constantly changing through inventing new technologies. At present, the most updated technology in the world of wireless connectivity is WiFi-6 which has not yet been officially launched but tested successfully.

Another name for the Internet is called speed. The fastest 5G technology has already begun to spread across the world. Now another high-speed internet service is coming to the user's Smartphone screen with the new Wi-Fi technology which will be called as Wi-Fi 6. Before launching this service, all the steps involved in developing a new Wi-Fi technology have been done. Networking hardware manufacturing has already been started for this technology. Even world-renowned tech companies have started producing various products that supports Wi-Fi 6.

Analysts say ‘Wi-Fi version Six’ will bring some radical changes in the Internet world. Wi-Fi 5 is currently running. Compared to Five, the Wi-Fi Six will provide nearly three times faster speed. At the same time, Six will be able to continuously provide high speed internet service to multiple users. Updated security technology has been added to it.

Number of Mobile gadgets, Internet of Things (IoT) and various hardware devices connected to the Internet are increasing worldwide. After the launch of the WiFi Six version, if manufacturers start making their supported devices then the use of version 6 will start thoroughly.

About Wi-Fi 6:
Wi-Fi technology is standardized by an international organization called the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Another International organization called 'Wi-Fi Alliance' gives certificates to Wi-Fi technology supported devices or certifies the quality. The Wi-Fi Alliance is made up of more than eight hundred companies and manufacturers around the world. It has Apple, Microsoft, Google, FaceBook, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Samsung, LG Electronics and more.

These two international organization works to bring new radio technology in every five years. The task of updating Wi-Fi technology has also done in five years. Wi-Fi Five was introduced in the year 2014 and it’s another name was 'IEEE 802.11AC'. Wi-Fi Five is commonly used on almost all Smartphone, Laptops or various IoT devices. That continuation of developments has brought the WiFi - or IEEE 802.11AX.

Features and Specialties Wi-Fi 6:
  • The big surprise of the new Wi-Fi technology is high-speed. The maximum speed of the WiFi-5 is 3.5 gbps (Gigabits per second). On Wi-Fi 6, it will be about 9.6 gbps.
  • Usually when multiple devices get connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Internet slows down. But that won't happen on Wi-Fi Six. Rather, this new technology will ensure the same level of internet service and information flow to multiple users on the same network.
  • Compared to the version five, the speed of internet will increase by about four times.
  • Wi-Fi Six can run on two types of frequencies, these are the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands.
  • The security measures have been further strengthened by adding security standard WPA3 which is mandatory. The users will use encryption to exchange information. Apart from this, the WPA3 will help the user to be safe from hackers.
  • WiFi-6 will also increase the battery performance of devices connected to the Internet. This will not drain the device's battery even for long internet usage. The device will last for a long time.
  • Analysts say Wi-Fi Six can comfortably use the Internet on various IoT devices, including Smartphones, smart TVs, Laptops etc.
  • Under the same WiFi zone, one user will be able to watch movies on Netflix, another user will be able to play online games without any interruption and at the same time another will be able to watch videos without buffering.





WiFi-6 in the Future:
The technology world is all set to enter to the new generation of Wi-Fi 6. Before this service officially launched, manufacturing of hardware and device such as Routers, Smartphone and Chipsets to support this technology has been started. Samsung recently introduced their new flagship Smartphone 'Galaxy S10' which will support Wi-Fi 6. Asus, Netgear, TP-Link have brought Wi-Fi 6 Router to market. HP and Dell brought new laptop that supports Wi-Fi 6. Qualcomm has brought a processor in the market.

Wi-Fi Six will be officially announced soon. It will take time to available in everywhere. The entire networking system of the Internet needs to be transferred to use of WiFi-6. The hardware will have to be replaced, it is also mandatory to use a Wi-Fi Six supported router. Devices will also have to adapt to this technology. This will not be possible to use on older devices, as this requires a change in hardware.

At the beginning, Wi-Fi Six supported routers, processors and devices will also be quite expensive. The routers or devices that currently support Wi-Fi Six are priced higher on the market. That is, the world of Wi-Fi technology will change slowly.

Every user wants high-speed Internet service and this trend will draw users to WiFi-6 in the future.
