Wi-Fi 6E unleashes the potential of Wi-Fi 6, however, 关键是要了解现在对你的组织来说是否是合适的时机.

In my previous blog, which focused on “The Wi-Fi (R)evolution”, 我谈到了Wi-Fi技术的现状以及Wi-Fi 6和6E的重要性.

作为最新标准,Wi-Fi 6E承诺无与伦比的性能和容量水平. However, 问题是:客户是否应该直接转向Wi-Fi 6E,并在他们的新部署中采用它?

当你考虑何时是跳槽的最佳时机时,以下几点是你需要考虑的.

Consideration #1: Countries enabling Wi-Fi 6E

With connectivity demands growing steadily, 许多国家正在为Wi-Fi提供部分6ghz频段. However, 一些国家和地区的限制比其他国家和地区更严格, 在启动Wi-Fi 6E项目之前,组织需要了解所在地区的法规状况.

• Countries, including the U.S.美国、加拿大和巴西已经为Wi-Fi 6E开放了整个频谱

• In the European Union and the U.K.在美国,只有500 MHz的频谱可用于Wi-Fi,而另一半频谱则预留给5G

• Other countries, such as Argentina, 墨西哥和新西兰仍在考虑他们的选择, 而其他许多公司还没有宣布采用Wi-Fi 6E

对这项新技术的推动只会越来越大,预计随着Wi-Fi 6E的不断发展, more countries will adopt it sooner rather than later.

My recommendation: Check the up-to-date list 由Wi-Fi联盟®发布的支持Wi-Fi 6E的国家名单.

Consideration #2: Certified Wi-Fi 6E devices

只有通过Wi-Fi 6E认证的产品才能使用6ghz频段. Therefore, 想要部署Wi-Fi 6E解决方案的组织将需要考虑认证接入点和客户端设备的可用性,以支持他们的用例.

Wi-Fi 6技术正以前所未有的速度被采用, reaching 50% market penetration in just three years. Wi-Fi联盟预测,到2022年,Wi-Fi 6和6E设备的出货量将超过20亿. 然而,其中只有15%是支持Wi-Fi 6E的设备.

市场上已经有一份Wi-Fi 6E认证产品清单, 包括来自网络供应商的接入点和其他设备, as well as consumer devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and home entertainment devices such as smart TVs. 虽然名单仍然有限,但预计将继续快速增长.

My recommendation: Check the certified Wi-Fi 6E products published by the Wi-Fi Alliance®.

Consideration #3: Outdoor coverage

In many markets, 6ghz频段已经被公共安全等现有许可服务使用, cellular backhaul, microwave links, satellite services and TV broadcast services. 这些服务中的许多都是关键任务,这意味着必须严格避免Wi-Fi 6E干扰.

这就引出了我们的第三个考虑,户外覆盖. Wi-Fi 6E区分了两种类型的设备,以避免对现有服务的干扰:

1. 传输功率有限的低功率器件. These include:

•低功耗室内(LPI)接入点,仅供室内使用. 这些设备覆盖了典型的室内Wi-Fi安装,无论是企业级还是住宅级.

• Very Low Power (VLP) devices, which are portable and intended for personal wearables, either indoor or outdoor. This is a new category of personal devices, to be used anywhere, even in vehicles, for example virtual reality glasses, which are connected to a smartphone through Wi-Fi, to transmit larger amounts of data than Bluetooth®.

2. 标准电源接入点适用于户外部署,需要更多的传输功率来支持更远的距离. 确保6ghz的现有用户不会受到这些Wi-Fi系统的有害干扰, the Wi-Fi Alliance in coordination with the FCC in the US, 设计了自动频率协调系统(AFC), 在室外环境中管理频谱使用请求.

Qualcomm has recently announced 他们的AFC解决方案在6 GHz频段增强Wi-Fi性能. 在其他国家,系统和规范处于不同的发展阶段. 总的来说,户外环境的Wi-Fi 6E还不成熟.

我的建议是:在户外Wi-Fi 6E的规格准备好之前,规划使用Wi-Fi 6的户外环境.

Into the future

While Wi-Fi 6E is ramping up, 至少在未来两年内,Wi-Fi 6仍将是主流技术.

如果您正在考虑将Wi-Fi 6E用于下一次WLAN部署, 将此博客添加为书签,并重新审视这里列出的三个基本注意事项.
