Wi-Fi 6: new generation of connection is coming, know what's new

Used in multiple devices and places, the Wi-Fi it was one of the beginnings that the modern world brought us. Introduced in 1999, this technology has gone through several changes since its launch, and now another update is on the way. THE Wi-Fi 6 brings improvements in speed, easier network identification, greater security, lower latency and also a novelty that will make users smartphones e tablets quite excited. welcome the generation 6 and its new features.

Ease of knowing if the device supports the network or not

The company that sets the standards for the network wireless (Wi-Fi Alliance announcement) will make network identification easier not only for businesses, but also for consumers using the network. There will be no more complicated codes that mix letters and slashes, those that only cause a headache when trying to find out if our devices are compatible with the network or not.

If before the networks were identified as for example: 802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ax, the new generation is much simpler. 

These changes also reached the previous generations of the Wi-Fi, for everything to be simplified, even if it's not a recent release. Generations 4 and 5 were also given a simple code of six letters and numbers. As of 2019 (possible year of implementation of the new generation), the identification you will find on the router boxes will look like this:

Edgar Figueroa, president of the organization, said that everything was really too difficult even for experts, and now he hopes to correct the mistake of previous generations:

A Wi-Fi Alliance announcement is excited to present the Wi-Fi 6 and introduce a new naming scheme to help industry users easily understand the generation, and whether or not it is supported by their device or connection.

Announced on October 03rd, the news made IT professionals excited because now everyone's work will be easier. Senior Vice President of Connected Home Products da NETGEAR, David Henry pointed out that it's not just the people working on it that will get the improvements:

Consumer usage will also be hit, as everyone will better understand and appreciate the generational differences in technology. Wi-Fi by introducing the latest standard 802.11ax. 

More changes are on the way with the arrival of Wi-Fi 6

In addition to having simplified codes, the new generation brings more changes, and one of them will make users very excited: better use in environments where use is intense.

Have you ever been in the situation of being in a football stadium or even in train or subway stations and the network keeps disconnecting from your cell phone all the time? This will no longer happen because the Wi-Fi 6 will increase efficiency and reduce latency in places where many devices are connected. But the news for mobile device users doesn't stop there.

Unsurprisingly, the battery will last much longer if you connect just by Wi-Fi instead of 3G/4G, and now that usage will also be reduced. By using the new generation of wireless lower energy consumption will be possible not only in tablets ou smartphones, but also on devices IoT. 

In practice, the Wi-Fi 6 will be able to deliver more data quickly (in addition to supporting 2,4 and 5 GHz networks), will require less energy than previous generations, and will allow better usage and a faster connection regardless of the device you use.

But when should it be available?

With launch scheduled for 2019, it may take a while for us to have access to this generation of the network wireless. This is because new routers must first be updated and certified to support the Wi-Fi 6 and its changes. In addition, it is not necessary for only router manufacturers to adapt their products.

Manufacturers of smartphones, tablets, notebooks and other tech devices will also have work and will need to modify their designs to make them compatible with the network upgrade. The news has already been announced, now it remains for companies to shape themselves so that they are put into practice as soon as possible.
