But unfortunately, many roadblocks keep companies from maximizing network connectivity. Chief
among them is the sheer number of devices accessing today’s networks – it’s been estimated
that we’ll have 12.3 billion mobile connections in the world by 2022, almost two per person. For
business IT leaders, the objective is to ensure connectivity for everyone’s devices at all times, while also
looking out for security and compliance issues.
It’s a major challenge, but there is one solution on the horizon, and that’s Wi-Fi 6. Known in the tech
community as 802.11ax, Wi-Fi 6 is a new form of wireless LAN architecture – it allows for more devices,
more data transfers, and more efficient power usage than its predecessors. And with a base speed of 1.2
Gbps (1200 Mbps) per stream, it’s much faster as well. In other words, Wi-Fi 6 represents a fast track to
greater productivity.
One of the key benefits of Wi-Fi 6 is decreased latency. This means there will be fewer delays for users
looking to transmit data over their Wi-Fi connections – transfers will be faster, and concerns about
“dead zones” in wireless coverage will be significantly reduced. Everyone will be able to get their work
done faster – even employees who are working remotely and don’t have access to wired corporate
networks.
This should have an immediate impact on businesses everywhere. With Wi-Fi 6 as a part of their
infrastructure, employees will enjoy better connectivity, which will lead to higher levels of productivity
and a clear impact on the bottom line. This means that investing in Wi-Fi 6, and the devices to support
it, is a proactive business decision worth making. You can spend a little now and make a lot more down
the road
By 2022, there will be 12.3 billion
mobile connections in the world.
