While planning its Wi-Fi 6E portfolio, Aruba asked the following question: “What is the best way to provide full coverage across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands in a way that meets the needs and budgets of enterprises of all sizes?” Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) that adds unlicensed wireless access to frequencies up to 1200MHz in the 6GHz band… .
With discussions regarding Wi-Fi 7 emerging at MWC 2022 earlier this year, there is talk that many people will skip Wi-Fi 6E and wait for Wi-Fi 7. In fact, the media is also arguing that moving to Wi-Fi 7 instead of Wi-Fi 6E is the right move. Current supply chain issues impacting the global economy,…
For a long time, wireless network designers have sought to provide services to different user groups and device classes by deploying multiple overlapping Wi-Fi networks. Now, the new 6GHz frequency band offers an attractive opportunity for network architects who have been considering such designs. Although attempts were made in the past at 5GHz, the limited number of channels resulted in unsatisfactory outcomes…
The 6GHz band is the largest unlicensed frequency bandwidth in history, and its sheer size alone can solve several problems. New regulations vary by country. In the United States, which follows FCC regulations, as well as in Korea and many other countries, a 1,200MHz frequency band can be divided into 59 channels of 20MHz each. This is nearly three times the size of the existing 5GHz band. The UK and…
On May 26, Aruba announced the launch of its Wi-Fi 6E solution. Wi-Fi 6E provides Wi-Fi services using the 6GHz unlicensed frequency band, which was approved by the government last October, enabling faster speeds and significantly higher capacity than before. This allows for the transmission of high-definition video, such as Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) or 8K video…
