Read AnalysisUnderstanding Wireless Standards
The landscape of wireless technology operates heavily on standards codified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The shift from Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) to Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) brought necessary improvements in device density handling through Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA).
Excels at penetrating solid walls but suffers from heavy congestion due to IoT devices and legacy hardware.
The standard for streaming and modern computing, providing necessary channel widths for gigabit transfers.
