[Digital Business Africa] –<\/strong> In preparation for the impending release of next-generation Wi-Fi technology later this year, the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA<\/a>) released on this July 10, 2019 to London <\/strong>a new white paper that provides deployment guidelines for a number of possible scenarios utilizing Wi-Fi 6 technology<\/a>. With today\u2019s white paper release, operators, enterprises and cities now have the tools needed to embrace and deploy Wi-Fi 6 when it\u2019s released later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globally,\ndependence upon Wi-Fi continues to grow exponentially, driven\nby a number of factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        The number of Wi-Fi devices in the world \u2013 9 billion \u2013 now outnumbers the 7.6 billion people<\/a> on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Global enterprises this year will generate more than 33 billion exabytes of\nIP traffic. By 2022, that number will grow to more than 63 billion exabytes<\/a> of IP traffic, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23\npercent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Wi-Fi is the primary access technology in most broadband households,\nwith 76 percent of US households<\/a> using Wi-Fi as the primary broadband connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wireless Broadband Alliance releases Wi-Fi 6 guidelines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As this newest white paper from WBA illustrates, savvy deployment of Wi-Fi 6 can mitigate some of the growing pains that Wi-Fi is experiencing, while ensuring that operators, enterprises and vendors meet important service-level agreements (SLAs<\/a>). As such, the work released today proposes guidelines to ensure SLAs around bandwidth, throughput, latency, traffic prioritization and numerous other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper also\nprovides guidelines for RF planning and design, with consideration given to\nfactors like band steering, MU-MIMO and adjusting for high-density deployments\nthat demand increased capacity. Additionally,\ntoday\u2019s release addresses ways that Wi-Fi 6 deployments can provide\nseamless mobility and backward compatibility with previous Wi-Fi generation\ntechnology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince its\ninception 20 years ago, Wi-Fi has become a fundamental expectation\nfor consumers and enterprises alike,\u201d said Tiago Rodrigues, General Manager,\nWBA. \u201cThis latest white paper comes at a crucial time; not only is\nglobal demand for Wi-Fi continuing unabated, but operators worldwide are\nramping up 5G networks, and governmental authorities around the world are\npreparing to open 6GHz spectrum to Wi-Fi traffic. Today\u2019s announcement\nillustrates the dedication of the WBA and its member companies to providing\ntimely, expert direction to ensure that Wi-Fi deployments successfully\naccommodate all of these global factors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, the\npaper provides a number of deployment scenarios for Wi-Fi 6,\nincluding public venues, stadiums, residential and multi-dwelling units, the\nInternet of Things (IoT) and enterprise WLANs. Today\u2019s release was\ndeveloped in conjunction with WBA\u2019s Next Gen Wi-Fi Work Group develop,\nincluding operator representatives from Boingo Wireless, BT and Charter\nCommunications, as well as vendor representatives from Broadcom, Cisco and\nCommScope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several industry\nexperts weighed in about the importance of Wi-Fi 6 deployment guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnologies\nlike Wi-Fi 6 and PasspointTM are steering unlicensed networks into the 5G era,\nmeeting high performance expectations across speed, latency, reliability,\nsecurity and traffic management. To realize digital transformations for both\npeople and things, we\u2019ll need Wi-Fi and its ability to carry the bulk of data\ntraffic with unparalleled efficiencies,\u201d \u2013 Dr. Derek Peterson, CTO at Boingo\nWireless and Co-Chair of\nWBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInvestment is driven by market opportunities, Wi-Fi-cellular aggregation, customer retention and new business opportunities, such as IoT,\u201d said Dr. Youngseok Oh, Manager, SK Telecom. \u201cSK Telecom<\/a> has been engaging in Wi-Fi 6 services that provide reliable, predictable services to customers anytime and anywhere, while also delivering new capabilities and business models.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we work with\nmobile and broadband operators around the world, the need for high-capacity\nWi-Fi continues to be a major driver,\u201d said Finbarr Coghlan, CTO,\nAccuris Networks. \u201cWi-Fi 6 addresses a number of critical\nrequirements being driven by user experience and service delivery demands,\nincluding connecting to more devices simultaneously, interference management\nand reduced power consumption, which dramatically improves battery life for\nmobile and IoT devices.  Accuris is excited to work with our Wi-Fi\nequipment partners to realize these benefits to further improve enterprise and\nIoT applications over Wi-Fi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Enterprises\nlike hotels, travel hubs and retail, can use Wi-Fi 6 to build carrier-grade\ninfrastructure that will complement 5G,\u201d said Chris Bruce, Managing Director,\nGlobalReach Technology Inc. and Board Member of WBA. \u201cDeploying Wi-Fi 6\nalongside Hotspot 2.0 \/NGH allows venue owners to control their entire user\nexperience. This next generation of Wi-Fi will also allow these venues to\nnegotiate mobile data offload access to their infrastructure on equal terms\nwith cellular operators.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wireless Broadband Alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2003,\nthe vision of the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) is to drive seamless,\ninteroperable service experiences via Wi-Fi within the global wireless\necosystem. WBA\u2019s mission is to enable collaboration between service providers,\ntechnology companies and organizations to achieve that vision.
