Currently, 61 smartphone models support Wi-Fi 6E.”Įnterprise networking vendors such as Extreme Networks began shipping Wi-Fi 6E access points in Q4 of 2021, with many more models debuting in 2022. And according to Claus Hetting of Wi-Fi Now, we have seen an explosion of available Wi-Fi 6E client devices: “In particular, the number of PCs released with Wi-Fi 6E capability (633) has been impressive (both laptop and desktop versions). Wi-Fi 6E client devices with 6 GHz capabilities began to trickle into the marketplace in 2021. Over 60 countries across the Americas, Europe, and APAC already have or are considering new regulations for Wi-Fi use in 6 GHz. The availability of 6 GHz Wi-Fi began in the United States, and Wi-Fi 6E is spreading across the globe. So effectively, it triples the available unlicensed spectrum available for Wi-Fi. To put this in perspective, the new 6 GHz spectrum available for Wi-Fi is more than double the usable channels of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels combined. This, my friends, is an enormous spectrum bonanza. As I have written in numerous blogs, Wi-Fi 6E brings us up to 1,200 MHz of new spectrum in the 6 GHz band.
