- Supports outdoor and indoor operations such as public safety and cellular backhaul, microwave links, satellite services, and TV broadcast services.
- This fixed indoor-only class uses lower power levels and does not require an AFC.
- VLP provides mobile indoor or outdoor usage from mobile clients for use cases like small cell coverage, hotspots, etc.

IoT handling is also enhanced with an operating mode for low-power, low-bandwidth devices like sensors, automation and medical devices. This mode will separate these devices from an 802.11ax AP using a 20 MHz-only channel that works in either the 2.4 or 5GHz bands. Similar to providing a dedicated bike lane, but without the worry of low-bandwidth traffic interfering with latency sensitive traffic.

Wi-Fi today uses two bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Wi-Fi 6E utilizes a third band: 6GHz. Wi-Fi 6E extends the same Wi-Fi 6 capabilities into the 6 GHz to allow greater efficiency, higher throughput, and increased security.

A lot has changed in recent years. The growth and diversity of clients as well as the types of applications and traffic being generated meant wireless standards needed to evolve to keep pace. Latency sensitive voice and video traffic are sharing airspace with IoT devices that are sending small data packets – which will slow down a wireless network.

Wi-Fi 6E expands on the existing Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and allows access to a new 6 GHz band. Wi-Fi 6E takes the efficiency features from Wi-Fi 6 like OFDMA, WPA3, and Target Wake Time and extends them to the 6 GHz band to provide more contiguous spectrum and less interference. With Wi-Fi 6E, enterprises can support new use cases that demand multi-gigabit speeds like high-definition video.
