As of this week leading Wi-Fi 6E platform provider ON Semiconductor and Wi-Fi NOW are teaming up to accelerate adoption of cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz) technology across multiple existing and new business segments including residential, automotive, enterprise, and industry.
With the US, UK, and Korea already on board and Europe expected to release 6 GHz to Wi-Fi early next year, the Wi-Fi industry is poised to expand Wi-Fi 6E technology into multiple existing and new business segments. Wi-Fi NOW and ON Semiconductor are now teaming up to accelerate adoption through a full year of cooperative awareness build and promotion.
ON Semiconductor says the time is now to incorporate Wi-Fi 6E capability into – for example – enterprise access points, home gateways, and mesh products. Two key components of future Wi-Fi 6E success include 12-stream capability for much-improved performance and coverage as well as so-called ‘AdaptivMIMO’ platforms, which can be reconfigured to support 6 GHz bands when the time is right, says Irvind Ghai, VP Marketing at ON Semiconductor.
“We’re delighted to be working with Wi-Fi NOW to build awareness on the importance and wide applicability of powerful Wi-Fi 6E solutions. We believe this is exactly the right time for service providers, enterprises, automotive, and not least industry to boost their businesses potential with vastly improved Wi-Fi connectivity. We also believe ON Semiconductor has a growing role to play in all of these dynamic segments of the Wi-Fi industry,” says Irvind Ghai.
