Cisco is excited about 5G & Wi-Fi 6, and the possibilities they hold…

The world has two dominant wireless access ecosystems in transformation today,Wi-Fi 6 and 5G, which are built on the same wireless foundation

Higher data rates& lower latency Increase in network capacity IoT at scale

Support new applications and outcomes

Seamless Connectivity

Explosion of devices including IOT


Support a high density of IoTdevices

• Asset tracking, Context based services, Electronic Payments

• IT & IOT Integration, Automation

• Hospitality, Retail, Smart Buildings

Ultra reliable and low latency applications

• Process automation, Automatic Guided Vehicles, Real-time analytics

• Manufacturing, Remote healthcare, Warehouses

Higher performance to mobile devices

• 50 Mbps or higher to every user in dense environments

• Enhanced video (4K, 8K), AR/VR, Immersion Experience

• Next gen e-classrooms, Stadiums, Modern Workspaces

WIFI 6 Enhancements For your reference

Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA): Increases network efficiency and lowers latency for high demand environments

Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO): allows more data to be transferred at one and enables an access point to transmit to a larger number of concurrent clients at once

Parallel processing: enables greater capacity by allowing MU-MIMO and OFDMA to function in UPLINK and DOWNLINK mode

1024 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Mode (1024-QAM): increases throughput in Wi-Fi devices by encoding more data in the same amount of spectrum

Target Wake Time (TWT): significantly improves battery life in Wi-Fi devices, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices
