Simply put, Wi-Fi 6E means Wi-Fi 6 extended to the 6 GHz band. Wi-Fi 6E works with the same standard as Wi-Fi 6 but with an extended spectrum. 6 GHz is the new frequency band ranging from 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz, allowing up to 1,200 MHz of additional spectrum. Unlike the existing bands on which channels are currently crammed into the limited spectrum, 6 GHz band exists without overlap or interference. Access to the 6 GHz frequency brings more bandwidth, faster speeds, and lower latency, opening up resources for future innovations like in AR/VR, 8K streaming and more.
Why Do We Need the 6 GHz Band
Increasing Number of Wi-Fi Devices
Heavier Traffic on Wi-Fi
Overcrowding on Original Bands
Minimize Network Interference from Your Neighbor
How Will Wi-Fi 6E Influence Daily Life
Wi-Fi 6E utilizes the capabilities of 6 GHz to enable high-bandwidth applications that require faster data throughput such as high-definition video streaming and virtual reality, as well as lower latency connectivity for online gaming applications.
More spectrum, lower latency
Wider channels, more throughput
Congestion-free, less interference
Warp Speeds for 8K Streaming
Online Gaming with No Lag
Ultra-Smooth VR/AR Experience
Wi-Fi 6E Makes a Difference
Clean and Congestion-Free
Unlike the crowded 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the wide-open 6 GHz spectrum is occupied only by efficient Wi-Fi 6 connections, removing frustrations currently caused by overcrowding on many WiFi networks. Channels on the newly opened 6 GHz band also wouldn’t overlap with each other, greatly reducing network congestion.
Wider Lanes for Faster Speeds
Wi-Fi 6E allows for 7 additional 160 MHz channels that double bandwidth and throughput, enabling many more simultaneous transmissions at the highest possible speeds. This translates to users enjoying 8K movies, AR/VR gaming, and large file downloads—all without buffering.
2.4 GHz: does not allow 160 MHz channels
5 GHz: allow 2× 160 MHz channels
6 GHz: allow 7× 160 MHz channels
Note: Due to the regulations, Hong Kong has opened up 500 MHz (3× 160 MHz) spectrum in the 6 GHz band for the implementation of wireless access systems.
Improved Capacity with More Spectrum
WiFi 6E offers up to 1,200 MHz of additional spectrum for 6 GHz WiFi, fulfilling the needs of ever-increasing WiFi usage. The 1.2 GHz of contiguous spectrum more than doubles the number of pathways currently available for sending and receiving data, dramatically increasing network capacity while reducing congestion.
Note: Due to the regulations, The European Union has opened up 480 MHz (3×160 MHz) spectrum in the 6 GHz band for the implementation of wireless access systems.
Wi-Fi 6E: Unlock the Full Potential of Wi-Fi 6
Opening the 6 GHz band will change the game for Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 brings about upgraded performance in network efficiency and capacity. Whereas the advantages of Wi-Fi 6 are not fully realized while competing with transmissions from WiFi 5 (or other radios). The 6 GHz band is available only for WiFi 6 traffic, allowing WiFi 6 to meet its intended potential.
