Once the new spectrum is officially opened for business later this year, that should translate to faster, more reliable connections from the next generation of devices.

Please contact your local Broadcom sales representative for samples and pricing. Devices are expected to start supporting 6GHz Wi-Fi by the end of 2020, so its implementation isn’t far away. After smartphones, he expects tablets to follow, with adoption in TVs likely in 2022. "As momentum accelerates around availability of 6 GHz, Broadcom is excited to be on the forefront of Wi-Fi technology paving the way for ecosystem adoption of Wi-Fi 6E. Already, the chipmaker Broadcom has announced a Wi-Fi 6E mobile chip. This will be of great benefit to NSPs that need to offer connected home customers the best in-home wireless experience.


On an immediate level, it means that if you’re the first person in your apartment building to get a 6GHz router, you’re going to be living large as far as connectivity goes because no one will be competing with you. Unless the current HW supports 6Ghz, I presume it will be a HW change. © 2020 GlobeNewswire, Inc. All Rights Reserved. As well as seeding a new high-speed generation of laptops and tablets, we see applications emerging quickly around Wi-Fi 6E wireless mesh, high-quality video distribution to 8K and VR requirements as well as the ability to enable deterministic low latency connections for new timing sensitive services.” -- Charles Cheevers, CTO, Home Networks, CommScope, “Wi-Fi 6 is already delivering many improvements versus prior Wi-Fi generations. That’s great for now since it means your device supports the latest Wi-Fi standard, which offers more efficient wireless performance. The important thing to know, though, is that you won’t see the 6GHz benefits until you buy a Wi-Fi 6E router. It would be nice though if their allowed us to trade in or side-grade our Orbi 6’s for a discount.

My expectation will be that they will charge us another 800,- Euro but it would be nice yes, it came also a bit quick and unexpected.. That’s exactly what I was wondering.

And if anything, marketing will be sure to be putting out new products when and if 6E comes around.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the availability of a portfolio of Wi-Fi 6E devices. Wi-Fi works by broadcasting over airwaves that are open for anyone to use.

BCM43694 — 4x4 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6E SoC with 160-MHz Channel Support, BCM43693 — 3x3 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E SoC with 80-MHz Channel Support, BCM43692 — 2x2 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E SoC with 80-MHz Channel Support, BCM47622 — Dual 2x2 Wi-Fi 6E SoC with Arm Processor, BCM43684 — 4x4 Wi-Fi 6E SoC with 160-MHz Channel Support, BCM6710 — 3x3 Wi-Fi 6E SoC with 80-MHz Channel Support, BCM6705 — 2x2 Wi-Fi 6E SoC with 80-MHz Channel Support, BCM6755 — Dual 2x2 Wi-Fi 6E SoC with Arm Processor.

Learn about how Wi-Fi 6E doubles available spectrum to boost speed, increase capacity, and dramatically reduce latency. IEEE 802.11ax, marketed as Wi-Fi 6 by Wi-Fi Alliance, is a draft Wi-Fi specification standard, and the proposed successor to Wi-Fi 5.

Moreover, consider that the use of the 6 GHz band has to be approved by the authorities and this could take some time... And even 5Ghz AX mode is still in in it's infancy. For more on Wi-Fi 6E and 6 GHz Wi-Fi, read our blog here. To get a little more specific, the FCC is opening up 1,200MHz of spectrum in the 6GHz band. If you’ve ever had trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi network, there’s a good chance spectrum congestion was the problem. But people are already talking about something new: Wi-Fi 6E, which promises to reduce Wi-Fi congestion further. “There’s so much spectrum in the 6GHz band that there should be room for both,” Solis said. Just like when users asked if Orbi AC was asking the same questions if that model would get a FW update. newsletter. All of the signs suggest they will, but the Wi-Fi Alliance has tried to point companies toward other forms of Wi-Fi before — like speedy WiGig or low-power HaLow — that haven’t panned out, pretty much at all. The new 6 GHz spectrum band is expected to be operational in the United States in 2020, and a wide ecosystem of 6 GHz-enabled devices will be available at launch.

But “Wi-Fi 6” means your device is still operating on the same old spectrum, so starting later this year, you’ll want to start looking for the label “Wi-Fi 6E.” That stands for “Wi-Fi 6 extended into the 6GHz band.” It’s the (relatively) consumer-friendly name you’ll see on phones, laptops, routers, and other gadgets that support 6GHz Wi-Fi.

It could happen later this year, but there’s no promise of that. Channel numbers will be defined by the IEEE's 802.11ax task group. The BCM43684 and BCM6755 SoCs are embedded into Eagle, our latest family of extenders. That means less space to broadcast, which could degrade overall performance. If one lives in an isolated house or has only few neighbors nearby, the 6E advantage is only hypothetical. Further information on Broadcom’s Wi-Fi 6E products can be found online at: https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/wireless-lan-infrastructure, “Wi-Fi 6E allows the immediate use of promised efficiencies of Wi-Fi 6, providing a spectrum platform for the next phase of lower latency and deterministic Wi-Fi services. Our solutions include data center networking and storage, enterprise, mainframe and cyber security software focused on automation, monitoring and security, smartphone components, telecoms and factory automation. And assuming this all does work out, you’ll still have to replace your devices to get the benefit. Cell carriers have in the past used unlicensed spectrum to augment the licensed spectrum that makes up the core of their wireless networks. Probably not, but it’s too early to say. With the industry's broadest portfolio of Wi-Fi 6E silicon, we will enable our customers to build a variety of products that unlock the tremendous potential of 6 GHz spectrum. Only two channels at that size could fit inside the currently available airspace. Here’s the deal: technically, the FCC didn’t open up new “Wi-Fi spectrum.” It opened up new “unlicensed” spectrum, which is roughly what it sounds like. And Apple previously said the FCC’s approval “sets the course for the next generation of Wi-Fi networks.”. For more information, go to www.broadcom.com.

Solis predicts 316 million devices will ship with Wi-Fi 6E support in 2021. We see now how that turned out.
On 23 April 2020, the FCC voted on and ratified a Report and Order to allocate 1.2 GHz of unlicensed spectrum in the 6 GHz band (5.925-7.125 GHz) for Wi-Fi use. The Federal Communications Commission voted today to open up a plot of spectrum in the 6GHz band for unlicensed use — the same regulatory go-ahead that lets your router broadcast over the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. And that’s why 6GHz is particularly exciting: this new band quadruples the total space available to traditional Wi-Fi. Technicolor Connected Home’s demonstrations are located at the Venetian Hotel in exhibit suites 30-315 and 30-317.” -- Mercedes Pastor, President of Global CPE Business Unit, Technicolor Connected Home. You’re still not going to get that speed in real life, but the new airwaves should help bump your speed up. Manufacturers have been preparing for this moment. Technically, 6GHz Wi-Fi has the same theoretical top speed as 5GHz Wi-Fi: 9.6 Gbps, the maximum offered under the Wi-Fi 6 standard, the current version of Wi-Fi. Many gadgets are shipped globally, too, so it could also slow down overall adoption if major markets fall behind. Seeing that this is so new I suspect Netgear will launch new hardware in the future.

That means there are now more open airwaves — a lot more — that routers can use to broadcast Wi-Fi signals. For now, the tech industry seems to be rallying around 6GHz Wi-Fi, which seems like a good sign that Wi-Fi will be the main beneficiary — at least for the immediate future — of the 6GHz spectrum opening up. Of course, your speeds will still be limited by what your home internet provider offers, but it’s a huge potential leap. They did this with LTE as one of many technologies meant to speed up connections. It took AC mode a while to fully mature and get into mainstream use. At 6GHz, it’s assumed that routers will broadcast at the current maximum allowable channel size, meaning a faster connection. 6GHz Wi-Fi can go a long way toward solving that problem. I havn't seen any router mfr offer those.

Today, it’s working over two bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

This will enable NSPs to tap into the full potential of the new 6Ghz spectrum and deliver improved connectivity as well as entertainment experiences. The new spectrum has enough room for up to seven maximum-capacity Wi-Fi streams to all be broadcast simultaneously and not interfere with each other — all without using any of the previously available spectrum.

I don't think the HW supports 6Ghz currently. Channels on the 6GHz band are expected to be 160MHz each in size. 6E just got FCC approved.

"Building on Wi-Fi 6's use of OFDMA and other advanced features, Wi-Fi 6E will allow Wi-Fi to expand into new applications.".

“This is the most monumental decision around Wi-Fi spectrum in its history, in the 20 years we’ve been around,” Kevin Robinson, marketing leader for the Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry-backed group that oversees the implementation of Wi-Fi, said ahead of the vote. “We will not be in the same position we are today five years from now,” Robinson said. But even once 6GHz routers become more common several years from now, the hope is that the more spacious spectrum will allow for signals to remain faster and stronger than the ones we use today. Wi-Fi routers will soon start supporting these stronger connections, called Wi-Fi 6E. It offers not just a new swath of airwaves for routers to use, but a spacious swath that doesn’t require overlapping signals like on some current Wi-Fi channels. That means regulatory issues could delay availability of this tech in some countries. This is the biggest spectrum addition since the FCC cleared the way for Wi-Fi in 1989, so it’s a huge deal. Does Netgear offer trade ins or discounts for older models? That’s because the limited spectrum available at 5GHz means Wi-Fi signals are often not as large as they could be.

If one lives in an isolated house or has only few neighbors nearby, the 6E advantage is only hypothetical. Please also read our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use, which became effective December 20, 2019. Wi-Fi 6 hardware is finally arriving on the market, and you’ll be seeing more and more of it released throughout 2020. WiFi 6 Access Points and devices are the future of WiFi. The new spectrum will accelerate the adoption of 160 MHz transmissions which in turn will unlock a whole host of applications that will require high throughput and low latency.” -- David Henry, Senior Vice President of Connected Home Products, NETGEAR, “Sagemcom has been proactively working with Broadcom to design and develop a portfolio of broadband CPE products that provide the full benefits of Wi-Fi 6E. Wi-Fi 6E extends the Wi-Fi 6 standard to support the soon-to-be-operational 6 GHz band. Wi-Fi 6E will be even better. Unless the current HW supports 6Ghz, I presume it will be a HW change. Right now, when you go to buy a new phone or laptop, you might see the label “Wi-Fi 6” on the box. The big one is... companies actually have to follow through!

But deployment should really kick off in early 2021 when the Wi-Fi Alliance begins offering a certifications program for Wi-Fi 6E devices. Unfortunately this will require a hardware and chipset upgrade as I do not believe the Orbi 6 has the radios that support the higher frequencies.
