For months, we’ve been inundated with TV commercials, digital ads and media headlines touting 5G as the “next big thing” in wireless technology. On the wireless LAN side, there’s a new Wi-Fi® standard, called Wi-Fi 6.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a fundamental challenge on a global scale. Our socioeconomic systems have been strained as a result, forcing entire societies to reexamine social practices and production systems that have often been in place for decades, if not centuries. These changes have caused a global economic recession worse than the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

Continual evolution, greater transparency, and WPA3™ support for Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ devices ensures Wi-Fi delivers state-of-the-art security protections.

Imagine a world where literally anything can be connected to Wi-Fi® – from today’s phones, laptops and watches, to tomorrow’s entryway locks, office desks, and even trash cans.

The newest evolution of Wi-Fi®—Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6™—is designed with the Wi-Fi users of today and the trends of tomorrow in mind.
