The world of Wi-Fi is always evolving – and there really have been a few big jumps in the past couple of years.
We can get faster speeds, lower latency (devices are better at handling lots of data), cheaper and more intuitive devices, and smarter features to keep up with our ever-growing reliance on wireless technology.
The four key areas for home and small business right now are:
Wi-Fi 6 – Faster Speed
6E is available now, and 7 is on the horizon. Remember the crowded, noisy highway analogy for traditional Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi 6E is like adding a spacious, uncongested express lane. It utilizes the newly opened 6 GHz band, which offers wider channels and less interference, resulting in significantly faster speeds, especially in high traffic areas.
Mesh Wi-Fi Blankets Home or Business
Tired of dead zones and patchy coverage? Mesh Wi-Fi systems are here to get rid of black spots. These interconnected nodes work together to seamlessly blanket your space in a web of high-speed Wi-Fi, eliminating weak spots and ensuring consistent connectivity in every corner. No more struggling to connect in the garage or that pesky bedroom!
Smarter, Easier to Connect, Wi-Fi Enabled Devices
There’s a flood of new, high quality consumer devices that seamlessly hook into your WiFi network to provide you with information and functions at your fingertips. One example of this are great new security cameras that are literally plug and play (if you have a high quality Wi-Fi network in place).
Smart Security for a Smarter Home
With the growing number of smart devices, Wi-Fi security is more crucial than ever. Thankfully, the latest Wi-Fi standards like WPA3 offer robust encryption and improved authentication protocols to keep your network and devices safe.
