Introducing WiFi 6 - The Next Generation in Wireless Connectivity

Current Wi-Fi standard (802.11 ac/Wi-Fi 5) provides Multiple User- Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) for connecting multiple devices to a network via the routers and access points, but for downlink only. To overcome these problems and improve Wi-Fi capability, Wi-Fi alliance is working towards a new 802.11 ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard.
