Analysis of the differences between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5

Abstract

While Wi-Fi 5 is still sufficient for many organizations and businesses, it is important to consider and upgrade to Wi-Fi 6. This article discusses the main differences between Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6. The goal is to identify key metrics transmission of information content of signals, a method for determining the best use of Wi-Fi signals for certain categories of use, an analysis and study of the influence of frequencies on the quality of transmitted information, and also analyzes the growth rate of an organization using these technologies. Using the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access connection principle, Wi-Fi 6 technology provides the main advantage of performing multiple receptions and transmissions at the same time. Multiple User Multiple Input Multiple Output technology allows routers to communicate with all devices at the same time, resulting in maximum packet exchange. Using the Basic Service Set (BSS) color scheme, we can see that Wi-Fi 6 is far ahead of previous technologies.
