Global WiFi 6 Devices Market: Key Developments

The major market players are focusing on product launches in order to enhance their product portfolios.

For instance, in March 2020, Aruba Networks, a part of the U.S.-based Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Information technology company, launched Aruba Air Pass, which enables its users to connect to its Aruba enterprise Wi-Fi 6 networks

For instance, in February 2022, NETGEAR, a computer networking company headquartered in San Jose, California, introduced two Wi-Fi 6 mesh extenders, Nighthawk AX1800 (EAX20) and Nighthawk AX6000 (EAX80). These extenders leverage Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology to expand the bandwidth capacity. Differentiating between the two, the Nighthawk AX1800 mesh extender is a newly introduced four-stream extender that can achieve speeds of up to 1.8 Gbps.

For instance, in December 2021, Huawei, a multinational company involved in the telecommunications, consumer electronics, and smart devices industries, released AirEngine 6760-X1 and 6760-X1E APs (Access Points). These indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access points offer ultra-high performance. By default, they have 10 spatial streams and two built-in IoT slots. With an RTU license, these APs can support up to 12 spatial streams and operate in the triple-radio mode.

For instance, in November 2021, Juniper Networks, a U.S.-based multinational corporation specializing in networking products, unveiled two new access points operating on the 6 GHz frequency range. These access points utilize Mist AI (Artificial Intelligence), enabling enhanced Wi-Fi performance and capacity while simplifying IT operations. The introduction of Wi-Fi 6E, a novel wireless standard, expands network capacity by utilizing the additional RF (Radio Frequency) spectrum available in the 6 GHz band, in addition to the existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This expansion aims to accommodate higher network demands and improve overall connectivity.
