2019: Wi-Fi 6 puts network capacity in the spotlight
The next generation invites us to reason on simultaneous uses, beyond an isolated flow test.
Topic year 2019
A launch in September
The Wi-Fi Alliance launches the CERTIFIED 6 Wi-Fi certification program in September 2019. His announcement notably highlights the operation in environments bringing together many devices. Wi-Fi Alliance, announcement of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6.
For an establishment, this benchmark helps to distinguish the coverage of an area and the ability to respond to simultaneous uses. A network visible everywhere may still require a study of its behaviour during periods of attendance.
Describe the moments that matter
Preparation is best done to identify important periods and applications: arrival of clients, meeting, calls or transfer of documents. The devices actually used must be taken into account.
A check performed in an empty room does not automatically describe the operation of the site under all conditions. What has been tested and what remains to be observed should be clarified.
Connecting radio to its infrastructure
Access points depend on their connection, power supply and network configuration. The choice of a radio generation must not erase these elements from the perimeter.
Alltech supports network projects with the skills of the joint team. Preparation of a renewal can begin with an inventory and well-located use situations.
