A Cisco announced on Monday, April 29, the launch of equipment for the next generation of wireless networks - Wi-Fi 6 (also known as 802.11ax), the new standard for Wi-Fi networks, is redefining the that is possible for businesses - drives a new era of immersive wireless experiences and connecting multiple devices.
In addition to being significantly faster than the previous generation, the 6 Wi-Fi offers up to 400% higher capacity and is more effective in high-density configurations such as large auditoriums, stadiums and conference rooms.
The 6 Wi-Fi is also easier for the batteries of the connected devices and offers a more predictable user experience overall.
Cisco announced new point-of-use and enterprise-class switches for packaged enterprises with the new standard to be released on 2022. Phones, laptops, and other devices will connect to Cisco access points on corporate campus and carry traffic to switches that connect to a company's wired network.
Cisco's new networking technology is designed to offer a modest increase in speed, but also to address some of the biggest problems facing today's WiFi networks. The new standard is designed to prevent clogging that can be caused by connecting multiple devices to a wireless network such as televisions, security cameras, and sensors.
In the past two years, Cisco has developed its intention-based network portfolio to prepare customers for tomorrow's challenges. The new access points and the Cisco campus switch are made specifically for intent-based networks and represent the culmination of the company's efforts to reinvent its entire access portfolio.
