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.

Thanks,

Everyone is returning to Huawei !


Huawei could breathe a little bit of relief for the moment. Those who left Huawei again began to return quietly to Huawei. The Chinese technology company has been linked to three different networks of different companies. Those three networks work with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Micro SD cards.

The Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG and SD Association have stood nicely beside Huawei. They renew Huawei's membership. These three networks are considered important for the Smartphone brand. Because they allow and verify the use of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and MicroSD cards on Smartphone.


In a Trump administration order, Google recently suspended Huawei for its Android business license. Just outside of the Android open source project, Google announced any service to shut down for Huawei. This allows Huawei's future Smartphone to stop using Google's popular apps.


Some big chip makers and other organizations were forced to stop the business relationship with Huawei. Soon after, the Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG and SD Association announced that they would not have a relationship with Huawei.

Considering the restriction of Android, the Huawei authorities brought the issue of their alternative plans. Their own operating system 'RK' or 'Hongmeng' can be used on their future Smartphone. Huawei promised its customers to keep up to date about software security updates. However, Google has not yet commented on Android updates on this issue. However, Google has said that Huawei device users will continue to update security.

Huawei's Chief Executive (CEO) Richard Yew, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Department, said about the ongoing tensions between Huawei and the US government in March this year: "There is tension between Huawei and the US government. Huawei is making its own operating system for its Smartphone and computer if Huawei cannot use Android or Windows. Huawei has registered trademarks of Huawei Hongmeng from China's Trademark Office of National Intellectual Property Administration.

After the ban, Huawei's Android operating system will not get any update version of some services from Google. Huawei then said that he had already started working with his own operating system. The operating system name is Hongmeng. Huawei has done this job to avoid unwanted situations.


Huawei will open the new OS within this year, according to the data on the technical website, The Verge.

Technological website Android Police said in a report that Huawei's new OS will support Android app and web app. In the OS, the Android OS will work 60 percent faster.

Some technical tech websites say that Huawei's flagship Smartphone MET 30 and MET 30 Pro will have a new operating system. This OS can be used in computers, cars, TVs and wearable products.

Robot vs Human in the Workplace | WHO WILL WIN



Robots are now taking over the workplace of the human. According to Global Analyst McKinsey, analyzing 800 jobs in 46 countries across the world says, by 2030, 80 million jobs in the world will be left in the hands of robots. So now those who are studying at school and college or thinking about get admitted to the university. Be ready, Robots are coming, new challenges are coming!

In Dubai McDonald's there is no man to take an order. Customers can order and pay by themselves. This is the journey to the future! After few days the menu will probably be over the restaurant table. There you will order, pay and keep sitting. After cooking food in the kitchen robots will send food to your table!

Those who spend a lot of time on the Internet, but they are already facing robots identifying problems 'test of humanity'. By checking the box 'I'm not a robot' or by filling the captcha, you can verify that you are a robot or a computer program which is also a virtual robot! In the 1920s, Czech playwright Carle Chapek used the first word of robot in his RR drama, the 'unrestricted workers robots' rebelled and went down to wipe out mankind! There may still be a lot of time left for a man-made horror robot of science fiction. But in the meantime robots have become rivals in many places.

They have already replaced McDonald's in Dubai or many hotel cleaner jobs in China. The percent of working with robots will increase even more in the future. Think of Amazon's biggest store in the world. There are now only one hundred thousand robots! By the year 2019 this number could be more than one and a half million. The number of people workers in the Amazon warehouse is 1,25,000.

On one side the development of technology reduces employment. Before the rise of Silicon Valley in 1990, the market capitalization of the heavy industries capital Detroit was US$ 3,660 billion, the revenue was US$ 25 billion, and the number of workers was 1.2 million. In 2014, the market capitalization of the top three companies of Silicon Valley was US$ 1.19 billion.

Revenue is approximately US$ 24,700 billion but the number of workers is 10 percent only which is around 1,37,000 only. At the end of the first three months of 2018, the market capitalization of the top three companies of Silicon Valley doubled to US$ 2 trillion, but their number of workers did not double. Just a few years ago 55 employees created a Facebook software called WhatsApp Communication bought US$ 11 billion!




21-year-old Nisha Scott took a job in Amazon in 2016. His job was to fill items in small boxes from one place to another. Now she watches over three robots that do her work! After a few days maybe Nisha will be replaced by a robot. In this way robots are constantly entering our youth market. According to Global Analyst McKinsey, by analyzing 800 job analyzes in 46 countries, the world will have 80 million jobs by 2030, with the robot hand. Food operators like machine operators, cleaners, drivers, cashiers and McDonald's will lose the most jobs.

Who will survive this fight?

According to McKinsey's report, the tasks that are 'human' will survive. Caretakers, Health workers, Lawyers, Teachers, and even gardeners in gardens apart from this, a lot of new areas will be created where 'human interaction' will be needed more. For these, there will be three main weapons to survive - possessing critical thinking, problem solving skills and creativity.

Facebook is the only product in the history of human civilization, which uses by one third of the entire human race. A new workspace has been built based on social media. There a large group of people working in the field of marketing, communication etc will be active in the future. Some worker will sitting on the desk opening FaceBook as their job duty. As a result, the work of computer programmers will also increase. After two years in America and Europe, the number of 20 million programmers will remain vacant, and more than 60 million computer security experts will be required.

Thanks,
