Wi-Fi 6 is the latest generation in Wi-Fi technology. Known as IEEE 802.3ax, Wi-Fi 6 offers users improved performance over the previous generation. Wi-Fi 6 is 25% faster than IEEE 802.11 ac and allows for more users to share a Wi-Fi device than before, enabling more seamless connections and fewer dropped connections. Wi-Fi 6 is ideal for areas where large groups gather or pass through, such as airports and sports arenas.
Category 6A cables, especially those from Proterial Cable America, are designed to support up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making them perfect for Wi-Fi 6. In fact, BICSI recommends installing 2 Category 6A cables per Wi-Fi access point.
