2019 is the first year of commercial trial of 5G and the first year of large-scale deployment of Wi-Fi 6. At present, the three major operators in China have successively launched their own 5G base stations, and major manufacturers have also released Wi-Fi 6 products. The two technologies are promoted rapidly at the same time, shaking up the entire wireless network.

Concept: 5G and Wi-Fi 6

If you use a keyword to describe 5G, it is "fast". As we all know, 5G is the fifth generation mobile communication technology, and its peak theoretical transmission speed can reach 10Gb/s, which is hundreds of times faster than that of 4G network. At the same time, 5G has the characteristics of large bandwidth, low latency and the Internet of everything, leading the transformation of the mobile industry.

Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation wireless network standard, also known as 802.11ax. The standard is based on the advantages of 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5), while increasing efficiency, flexibility and scalability, so that future networks can improve speed, capacity and power efficiency through next-generation applications.

5G is compatible with Wi-Fi 6?

In fact, both 5G and Wi-Fi 6 promise faster speed, less latency, and greater capacity, with some overlap even in the use of technologies such as MU-MIMO and beamforming. But the two are indeed two completely different technologies, and they show differences in application scenarios, networking methods and so on.

Wi-Fi 6 is a wireless LAN technology that is used in offices, homes, conference centers, or other indoor places. 5G is a wide area network technology designed for cellular data, edge computing, Internet of things applications, and other outdoor connections. In terms of networking, Wi-Fi6 is built by enterprises or individuals, and 5G is built by operators.

When 5G comes, Wi-Fi dies?

Some people say, "5G will be the Terminator of Wi-Fi." In fact, this is not the case. 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are complementary technologies that will provide higher data rates to support new applications and increase network capacity through the ability to connect more devices, together to create a larger, faster, more accessible Internet.

Both Wi-Fi 6 and 5G provide exciting opportunities for a wide range of industries to connect more devices reliably via wireless. These include manufacturing automation, health care, energy and other industries. Wi-Fi 6 and 5G will also provide enhanced mobile networks for immersive experiences through enhanced and virtual reality. This experience is particularly important for industries such as hotels, retail and education.

Cisco's "fit into the Wireless Age" online event

Want to keep up with the pace of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G? Want to know what changes the latest wireless trends will bring to the industry? How to meet the huge network needs you face? We invite you to participate in the Cisco "integrate into the Wireless Age" online event to be held at 2: 00 p.m. on May 9 to hear industry experts and relevant influential people discuss cutting-edge wired and wireless network solutions.

David Goeckeler, Executive Vice President and General Manager of ▲ Cisco Network and Security

At that time, David Goeckeler, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Cisco Network and Security, will give a keynote speech on product innovation; industry experts, opinion leaders, suppliers and manufacturers will express their views on Wi-Fi 6 and 5G; and Cisco customers in different industries will discuss the needs of wired and wireless network access. Here, you may be able to find resonance and have a deeper insight into 5G and Wi-Fi 6. > > Click the link to make an appointment to watch the registration online.
