Fundamentals of Wi-Fi 6: Capacity Is the New Metric

We’ve seen performance gains with each new wireless standard. We’ve also been promised more than each standard delivered. Why should we expect something different from 802.11ax, or Wi-Fi 6?

Because Wi-Fi 6 is all about airtime efficiency in a high-density world.

In addition to its solid improvements in the usual three wireless performance areas—modulation, spatial streams, and channel bonding—Wi-Fi 6 is supported by a big new acronym: OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access). For the first time, a wireless standard is addressing the transmission issues that lead to wasted space and wasted air time.

Find out about OFDMA and what it means for your enterprise business in Fundamentals of Wi-Fi 6: Capacity Is the New Metric, a video on demand from TechWiseTV hosted by Robb Boyd.

I literally could watch this guy speaks for hours I wish he had more videos ;) thanks Cisco I love you 🤟🏻

[JoshSchmelzle]

This provides an excellent overview midst vagueness spewed from marketing teams! I don't understand how anyone can dislike this. Great video!

[EyesOfByes]

Didnt expect the best neutral explanation coming from a commercial video ☺️

[DavidTorres-mksk]

very good explanation and friendly. Thanks so much.

Why did I take so long to arrive at this video? Great high-level explanations of the features!

[sschueller]

Thank you for the straight forward explanation without all the bullshit marketing crap.

Hey, this was a great explanation, is there a way to get this video with spanish subtitles (not youtube auto translate) so I can show it to my dad so he better understands the improvements of the new technology and the current technology's setbacks?

[andyhill]

All very good, thanks for the explanation. One question, do you get the wifi 6 efficiencies if lots of the clients only have wifi 5 capability?

[mysterychemical]

Came to know this video is from Cisco after watching it. Nice explanation.

[ritinramola]

More on BSS and OFDMA. Great vid though.

[timeireles]

OMG we should have this video at all schools!

[jhtrico]

I have about 20 devices at my home, covered by 3 Google Wifis (802.11ac). Will WiFi 6 help me? Most interested in improving responsiveness

[masamb]

can the people who thumbs down the video please explain why they did so?
