In the world of wireless connectivity, the Wi-Fi 6E standard is quite new. Samsung and LG, two of the world’s leading manufacturer of TVs, has announced that their 2021 premium TVs have received official Wi-Fi 6E certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA).
The Wi-Fi 6E standard operates in the 6GHz
band instead of the 5GHz band that both Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 utilizes. In
theory, this allows Wi-Fi 6E devices to have nearly four times faster speeds
when compared to Wi-Fi 5, and also have more stable and reliable data transfers
when there are multiple devices connected to the same router.
Samsung announced that their 2021 Neo QLED
8K TV models, both the QN900A and QN800A, have received the Wi-Fi 6E
certification. Along with this, LG also revealed that their 8K OLED TV and QNED
TV (which feature Mini LED technology) have received the same certification
from the WFA.
