'Wi-Fi 6' is a wireless standard that the line speed does not drop even in an environment with congested radio waves, and the theoretical value is a maximum transfer speed of 9.6 Gbps. The radio frequency bands used for communication are 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The specifications of Wi-Fi 6 are summarized in the following articles.

The extended version of this Wi-Fi 6 is 'Wi-Fi 6E'. The wireless frequency band has been extended to 6GHz (5.925-7.125GHz), and it is said to be a standard suitable for high-resolution video streaming and high-speed data communication.

Wi-Fi 6E was announced in January 2020, but it was announced that the certification program started to be offered on January 7, 2021, just one year later. The Wi-Fi Alliance states that 'the demand for Wi-Fi operation in the 6GHz band is increasing worldwide. Wi-Fi 6E is available to consumers and device manufacturers worldwide because the (6GHz) frequency band is available worldwide. The benefits to service providers are immeasurable. The Wi-Fi Alliance certification process ensures that users have a secure, reliable and interoperable experience on their Wi-Fi 6E-enabled devices. It will be useful. '

After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to provide the 6GHz frequency band for Wi-Fi in the United States, the United Kingdom, European countries, Chile, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates also decided to provide the 6GHz band for Wi-Fi. I decided to secure it. In addition, countries such as Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Taiwan, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and Jordan are also making efforts to make the 6GHz band available without a radio license. In line with these moves, the Wi-Fi Alliance has launched a certification program to certify Wi-Fi 6E-enabled devices.

The Wi-Fi 6E certification program guarantees device interoperability and WPA3 , the next-generation security protocol.

Research firm IDC said, 'Wi-Fi 6E will be rapidly adopted in 2021 and more than 338 million compatible handsets will enter the market. By 2022, it will support the 6GHz band. Wi-Fi 6E devices will account for about 20% of all Wi-Fi 6 device shipments. '

In addition, manufacturers such as ASUS, Broadcom, Intel, Qualcomm have already announced Wi-Fi 6E products, and Samsung's Galaxy series is also scheduled to support Wi-Fi 6E.
