    Wi-Fi 6

    IEEE standard for wireless networking (adopted in 2019)

    Wi-Fi 6, or IEEE 802.11ax, is an IEEE standard from the Wi-Fi Alliance, for wireless networks. It operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with an extended version, Wi-Fi 6E, that adds the 6 GHz band. It is an upgrade from Wi-Fi 5, with improvements for better performance in crowded places. Wi-Fi 6 covers frequencies in license-exempt bands between 1 and 7.125 GHz, including the commonly used 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, as well as the broader 6 GHz band. This standard aims to boost data speed in crowded places like offices and malls. Though the nominal data rate is only 37% better than 802.11ac, the total network speed increases by 300%, making it more efficient and reducing latency by 75%. The quadrupling of overall throughput is made possible by a higher spectral efficiency. Wikipedia

    802.11ax and Wi-Fi 6 promised benefits. Now to the nitty-gritty of what makes performance gains possible when considering 802.11ax vs. 802.11ac: You'll see the 4x multiplier used fairly frequently when comparing the specifics of the two standards.. For example, .11ax, at its best, uses 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation, as opposed to .11ac's 256 QAM scheme.

    Wi-Fi 6 is the latest wireless standard that delivers improved performance, coverage and battery life for dense and IoT deployments. Learn how Wi-Fi 6 works, how it differs from Wi-Fi 5, and what applications benefit from it.
  8. The Wi-Fi Alliance campaigned to coin the term 'Wi-Fi 6' to refer to the IEEE 802.11ax standard. The term indicates that it is the sixth generation of Wi-Fi. The premise was to simplify the marketing message to help 802.11ax be better positioned relative to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards used in cellular (such as 5G).
