Sri Lankans will be getting Wi-Fi 6 facility soon which is the current ideal gateway toward realization of an enterprise-wide wireless infrastructure. With many office spaces temporarily vacated due to the COVID pandemic, such places had the unique opportunity to test this latest Wi-Fi standard in a real office environment using laptops equipped with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (AX210) network cards. Dialog Axiata PLC, has unveiled ‘WiFi 6’ − the Next-Gen standard in Wi-Fi technology for the first time in Sri Lanka. It said with most homes having significantly more Wi-Fi enabled devices, from smartphones, tablets to TVs and smart home devices which require seamless connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 enables better communication between these multiple devices, which requires data simultaneously at faster speeds and lower latency along with wider coverage. Wi-Fi 6 will enable devices to work in an optimal manner even in interference zones (i.e. multiple Wi-Fi networks), where the beam forwarding feature of this technology provides overall superior Wi-Fi experience due to the Wi-Fi signal only targeting Wi-Fi 6 enabled devices. Wi-Fi 6 is a substantial upgrade over previous generations and introduces new technologies to help mitigate issues that arise when using multiple Wi-Fi devices on a single network, keeping connections strong even as more and more devices start demanding data. Further, the lower latency enabled by Wi-Fi 6 technology provides the best gaming and streaming experience. Dialog Smart Home recently launched the WiFi 6-enabled ‘Wi-Fi Mesh’, a holistic and highly-secure home Wi-Fi system designed to boost WiFi connectivity to every corner of the home, thereby eliminating low-coverage blind spots. This is the latest addition to Dialog’s portfolio of future-ready solutions and addressing the need for seamless, uninterrupted connectivity. Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation standard in WiFi technology. Wi-Fi 6 also known as “AX WiFi” or “802.11ax WiFi” builds and improves on the current 802.11ac WiFi standard. Wi-Fi 6 was originally built in response to the growing number of devices in the world. If you own a VR device, multiple smart home devices, or simply have a large number of devices in households, then a Wi-Fi 6 router might just be the best WiFi router for such households. In this guide, we’ll go over Wi-Fi 6 routers and break down how they’re faster, increase efficiency, and are better at transferring data than previous generations.
