Extended Wi-Fi Family - Technologies and Economics Technologies, Applications and Markets 2023

DUBLIN, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Extended Wi-Fi Family - Technologies and Economics Technologies, Applications and Markets" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report addresses recent or planned enhancements to one of the most established and powerful wireless technology - Wi-Fi. Originating in the 20th century, this WLAN family belongs to a very small group of communications technologies that are not obsolete with time.

The family continues to grow to add new members that bring WLAN to the forefront of today's innovations in communications with multiple applications and push the limits in performance. Wi-Fi will support and strengthen 5G networks making them more flexible and efficient.

The report's goal is to analyze recently introduced or still in the development advanced Wi-Fi technologies, their applications, and the marketplace. It also surveys related industries.

In particular, it addresses such developments as:

• 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4). The technology has already produced a multi-billion market, improving such communications characteristics as the rate of transmission, coverage, and others. It significantly increased the spectrum of Wi-Fi applications. In recent years, 802.11n products dominated the Wi-Fi market; but this technology is gradually losing its leading position to newer members of the Wi-Fi family, such as:
• 60 GHz Wi-Fi - 802.11ad/ay. This is the Wi-Fi industry's response to the users' new requirements to support gigabits per second transmission rates over shorter ranges for such applications as a home/office distribution of HDVD and similar bandwidth-hunger applications. The report addresses specifics of 60 GHz channels and details WiGig/802.11ad technology. It also introduces the NG 60 GHz 802.11ay standard.
• White Spaces Wi-Fi (White Wi-Fi - 802.11af). This technology allows utilizing the property of sub-gigahertz transmission together with Wi-Fi advances. It uses unused windows of the TV spectrum and will work with Cognitive Radios.
• Sub - 6 GHz Wi-Fi - 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5). This development allows gigabits per second speed and improves characteristics of IEEE 802.11n technology in a wide spectrum of characteristics.
• Sub - 1 GHz Wi-Fi (excluding White Spaces) - 802.11ah.
• 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), which stretches Wi-Fi characteristics beyond imaginable just a few years ago.
• Wi-Fi 6E - 802.11ax in the 6 GHz band
• WAVE 802.11p - Dedicated Short Reach Communications 5.9 GHz- contribution of Wi-Fi in the development of the connected car.
• Other.

The report details technical and marketing specifics of these types of WLAN technologies as well as surveys their industries and shows that Wi-Fi 6 is ready to meet some 5G requirements; with incoming Wi-Fi 7 bringing an even wider spectrum of advanced characteristics.

The report was developed for technical and managerial personnel working on Wi-Fi-related projects to give them better-understanding the specifics of this family of technologies and markets. The report also includes a survey of Wi-Fi technologies-related patents for 2018-2022.
