See the graphic above which depicts the huge increase in channels over 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.  The additional spectrum will provide a lot more airspace beyond existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, resulting in increased bandwidth and less interference for devices that support Wi-Fi 6E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are deploying new Wi-Fi networks today using Wi-Fi 6 AP&#8217;s like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keenansystems.com\/store\/catalog\/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=ecw230\">EnGenius ECW230<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keenansystems.com\/store\/catalog\/product_info.php?products_id=613\">Ruckus R750<\/a> you will be able to supplement the network later when Wi-Fi 6E AP&#8217;s become available.  They are running on different frequencies and can coexist alongside each other.  Likewise all future Wi-Fi 6E devices will be able to connect to your current Wi-Fi 6 AP&#8217;s.  &nbsp;6GHz band will be best suited for close-range connections, ideally between devices that are in the same room as one another so you will want a mix of lower cost Wi-Fi 6 AP&#8217;s along with strategically located  Wi-Fi 6E AP&#8217;s to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is for sure you will need fast switches with plenty of PoE power budget to support all these new devices.  The Wi-Fi 6E AP&#8217;s will for sure support multi gigabit and have higher power requirements so you would be smart to build out your wired network now with cloud managed switches like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keenansystems.com\/store\/catalog\/product_info.php?products_id=597\">EnGenius ECS2512FP<\/a>.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FCC opened new channels in the 6 GHz spectrum back in April 2020 for new Wi-Fi standards.
