Wi-Fi 6
Wi-Fi Alliance® is the worldwide network of companies bringing you Wi-Fi®, one of the world’s most valued communications technologies. Our vision is to connect everyone and everything, everywhere. Wi-Fi Alliance drives global Wi-Fi adoption and evolution through thought leadership, spectrum advocacy, and industry-wide collaboration. Grandstream’s Wi-Fi 6 access points have been CERTIFIED, meaning they have undergone rigorous testing. When a product passes the tests successfully, the manufacturer can use the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo.
Certification means that a product has been tested in numerous configurations with a diverse sample of other devices to validate interoperability with other CERTIFIED Wi-Fi equipment operating in the same frequency band.
The Benefits of Wi-Fi 6
Wi-Fi 6, also known as 802.11ax, was released in 2019. It has only now begun to see mainstream adoption as the go-to Wi-Fi standard for Wi-Fi manufacturers and businesses alike. Although it may be more expensive, Wi-Fi 6 access points deliver key advantages over Wi-Fi 5. 801.11ax performs up to 4x better in denser environments than its 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) counterpart. Wi-Fi 6 is also designed to better manage multiple types of Wi-Fi devices that are simultaneously connecting to an access point.
In this blog post, we cover the advantages that Wi-Fi 6 provides and how they benefit organizations.
Market-Leading Features
The GWN7664 comes equipped with advanced performance-boosting features:- UL/DL OFDMA: Access points running on the 801.11ax standard perform better in dense environments and are designed to manage multiple Wi-Fi devices with varying bandwidth demands
- Beamforming Technology: AP detects wireless clients and focuses signals towards them
