WiFi 6 offers significant advantages over its predecessor (WiFi 5). With speeds up to three times faster, lower latency, and enhanced capacity to support more devices. It also provides improved performance, particularly beneficial for real-time applications like video conferencing even in dense network environments.

The latest WiFi security standard, WPA3, introduces enhancements over WPA2. It features robust authentication protocols for heightened resistance to hacking and advanced privacy measures, including individualized data encryption, ensuring enhanced security for your network.

Note: Please contact the NetBeez support team if you would like to upgrade your current agents to have WiFi 6 functionality.
