Skylab WiFi6 Module Selection Recommendation

The WiFi6 module is a wireless network communication module that supports WiFi6 technology (IEEE802.11ax) and has various characteristics and advantages. The following is a detailed introduction:

WiFi6 module

1. High speed data transmission:

The WiFi6 module adopts more advanced modulation technology and channel management strategy, with a maximum theoretical speed of 9.6Gbps, which is significantly higher than the 3.5Gbps of WiFi5 (802.11ac). This enables users to have a more stable and fast network connection experience when performing high bandwidth applications such as large file transfers, high-definition video streaming, and online gaming.

2. Low latency:

The technology based on OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) has been introduced to divide the channel into smaller sub channels, enabling multi-user simultaneous data transmission and reducing network congestion and collisions. This technological advantage effectively reduces network latency. For applications that require high real-time performance, such as online gaming, video conferencing, remote healthcare, VR/AR experience, etc., the WiFi6 module can provide smoother services.

3. Better coverage and stability:

Based on MU-MIMO (Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, the WiFi6 module can communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, improving network utilization. And it supports more spatial streams, making the signal coverage wider and the ability to penetrate obstacles such as walls stronger, thereby effectively improving the stability and coverage range of wireless networks. We can provide more reliable network connections in various environments such as homes, offices, and public places.

4. Low power consumption:

In terms of design, it is more intelligent. Through technologies such as Target Wake Time (TWT), devices can more flexibly choose when to enter sleep mode, thereby reducing unnecessary power consumption. This is very important for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc., as it can extend the battery life.

5. Support more device connections:

With the development of the Internet of Things, the number of devices connected in home and enterprise networks continues to increase. The WiFi6 module can support more devices connected simultaneously through more efficient resource allocation and scheduling mechanisms, effectively solving the problems of network congestion and performance degradation. It can meet the networking needs of a large number of smart devices in scenarios such as smart homes and smart offices.

6. Compatibility:

Generally speaking, WiFi6 modules are backward compatible with previous WiFi standards (such as WiFi4, WiFi5), which means they can communicate with older versions of WiFi devices. However, when connected to old devices, it may not be possible to fully utilize all the performance advantages of WiFi6, but it can ensure basic network connectivity and usage.

7. Security Enhancement:

In order to ensure the security of network communication, the WiFi6 module supports more powerful encryption algorithms and security authentication mechanisms, such as WPA3. These security measures can effectively protect users' privacy and data security, prevent network attacks and information leakage.

The application scenarios of WiFi6 modules are very wide, including home networks, enterprise networks, public place networks, IoT devices, vehicle networks, etc. In the home, it can provide stable network connections for smart appliances, smart speakers, smart cameras and other devices; In enterprises, it can improve office efficiency and network reliability; In public places, it can provide users with a better online experience; In the field of the Internet of Things, it helps to achieve intelligent connection and management of devices; In the vehicle network, high-speed data transmission and reliable connections can be provided.
