Title: 5G and WIFI6
Panel: Mr. Nicholas Yong (Huawei)
From the industrial talk 6, delivered by Mr. Nicholas Yong (Executive Industry Solution Manager from Huawei), we gained a lot of new information about the evolution of the network infrastructure like 5G and WiFi 6. 5G offers enormous prospects for the economy and all members of society, including consumers, residences, enterprises, and communities. Many services will be democratised as a result of the possible savings and increased efficiency of new technology. All populations will benefit from increased access to information and education as a result of connectivity. New business opportunities in a variety of industries will increase investment and employment. 5G will contribute to the long-term goal of decreasing our carbon footprint and conserving natural resources by broadening the scope of wireless technologies and making devices more autonomous. 5G communications technology will be more inclusive, progressive, proven, and powerful than any prior generation of communication technology. WiFi 6 offers the increase of battery life for devices accessing a WiFi 6 network. This improvement is beneficial to the average user and can be a critical factor in enabling low-power devices that comprise the Internet of Things (IoT) to make use of WiFi communication. Improvements in Multiple In/Multiple Out (MIMO) capabilities now allow a router with multiple antennas to both send and receive data transmissions from multiple devices at the same time. WiFi 5 could only send, but not receive multiple signals at once. This will lead to better performance in situations where many users are attempting to access the network. These are some of the ways that WiFi 6 alleviates the problems of accessing WiFi in congested settings such as sports arenas or entertainment venues. It promises to make connecting to wireless networks more efficient no matter where you are located.
