Huawei launches Wi-Fi 6 in the Middle East
Huawei’s Wi-Fi 6 powers enterprises forward by dramatically boosting capacity and slashing delay. Wi-Fi 6 offers four times the system capacity of Wi-Fi 5, four times the concurrent access, and 60% lower transmission latency. This solution enables ultra-high bandwidth 4K ultra-HD video conferencing anytime, anywhere, as well as high-speed support for manufacturing, fast, seamless roaming, and ultra-low 10-millisecond latency for quick VR response.
“The Wi-Fi network has become an important part of enterprise digital transformation. However, the current enterprise wireless networks are faced with the challenges of poor user experience, complex O&M, and low security. By launching Wi-Fi 6 in the region, Huawei hopes to support more enterprises in deploying Wi-Fi 6 to build high-quality wireless networks with enhanced performance, capacity & coverage so that they can introduce more digital and intelligent services.” commented Faisal Malik, CTO, Huawei Enterprise Business Group, Middle East.
