Wi-Fi 6 provides the next-generation and latest standard of wireless local area networking technology that uses the same 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz carrier frequencies to deliver fourfold performance increases. Because it allows users to transmit more data at increased speed across channels, Wi-Fi 6 significantly improves many use cases across industries that provide Internet connectivity in traffic-dense environments like multi-dwelling units and universities. Moreover, the advent of Wi-Fi 6 technology upends the traditional notion that ethernet offers faster and more reliable Internet connectivity. To determine the best configuration for your environment, you’ll want to compare the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 vs ethernet for your organization.

Why Wi-Fi 6?

Wi-Fi 6 raises base Wi-Fi speed to 1200 Mbps per stream to any device for blazing fast and consistent connectivity. Moreover, Wi-Fi 6 represents a significant upgrade over previous generations by increasing the number of connected devices it supports. 

Upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 effectively doubles the number of devices that can send and receive data simultaneously, resulting in faster connection speeds with less throttling over large coverage areas.

Wi-Fi 6 Vs Ethernet

For fast, reliable Internet connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 and ethernet configurations both offer benefits. While ethernet can deliver consistent service with low latency, Wi-Fi 6 provides a similar level of reliable, high-performance wireless Internet for greater mobility and scalability.
