Increase Productivity with Wi-Fi 6E
Today’s world runs on a Wi-Fi technology known as “Wi-Fi 5”, which has served us well over the 10 years it has existed. While a run of this length is extremely impressive & rare in the technology world, a new version of Wi-Fi has arrived known as “Wi-Fi 6E”.
Wi-Fi 6E brings an impressive list of features to networks at offices and residences alike such as:
1. Unmatched Speed and Efficiency
Wi-Fi 6E is a giant leap forward in terms of speed.
- The technology operates in a new 6GHz radio frequency band, providing more available channels and less interference compared to Wi-Fi 5.
- This means faster data transfer speeds and less congestion.
- Wi-Fi 5 had a maximum real-world speed capability of 1GB with Wi-Fi 6E being five times faster at 5GB.
2. Enhanced Capacity for Multiple Devices
Wi-Fi 6E can handle more connected devices at the same time.
- In today’s offices, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of devices are simultaneously connected to the network—laptops, smartphones, tablets, gadgets, appliances and more.
- Wi-Fi 6E’s advanced “MU-MIMO” (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology allows for more efficient communication with multiple devices.
- Reducing lag and ensuring everyone stays connected without disruptions.
- These benefits are increasingly clear in large-sized networks and/or in densely populated urban areas.
3. Crystal Clear Audio and Video
Wi-Fi 6E allows for video call performance that is similar to a hardwire connection
- While nothing is a true replacement for a hardwire connection, Wi-Fi 6E’s is pretty close.
- Its improvements in latency (delay) are a game-changer for video conferencing, VoIP calls, and other real-time applications.
- Your team can collaborate seamlessly without lag or choppiness, leading to more efficient meetings and enhanced communication.
4. Stronger Security
Wi-Fi 6E uses a much stronger authentication standard.
- Security is paramount in any office environment and Wi-Fi 6E offers improved WPA3 encryption.
- This makes it harder for unauthorized users to breach your network, ensuring your network remains protected.
5. Future-Proofed
Wi-Fi 6E is built for the future.
- As technology continues to evolve, your network(s) will benefit from the longevity and adaptability of Wi-Fi 6E.
- Given that Wi-Fi 5 was released a decade ago, this should ensure your infrastructure remains up-to-date and relevant for years to come.
- On a related note, this upgrade ensures your network(s) can support emerging technologies such in AI, VR, and 8K video.
6. Improved Battery Life for Devices
W-Fi 6E improves the battery life of devices
- Wi-Fi 6E’s Target Wake Time (TWT) feature allows Wi-Fi 6E devices to schedule when they “wake up” to transmit data, reducing power consumption.
- This means longer battery life for laptops and mobile devices, ensuring folks remain productive throughout the workday.
7. Easy Deployment and Scalability
Wi-Fi 6E is easy to deploy.
- Most modern routers, access points, and new devices support both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6E, making the transition seamless.
In conclusion, Wi-Fi 6E is a game-changer for Family Office networks both in a workplace or residential setting. Its blazing speed, enhanced capacity, reduced latency, and improved security make it the ideal choice for businesses looking to provide their teams with the best possible connectivity.
By upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E, your organization is investing in a future-proof network infrastructure that will both improve existing workflows and support new technologies, for years to come.
For new networks, Cascade will be exclusively recommending Wi-Fi 6E hardware moving forward.
