Dialog pioneers next gen ‘WiFi 6’ in Sri Lanka

Dialog Axiata PLC, has unveiled ‘WiFi 6’ − the Next-Gen standard in Wi-Fi technology for the first time in Sri Lanka.

It said with most homes having significantly more Wi-Fi enabled devices, from smartphones, tablets to TVs and smart home devices which require seamless connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 enables better communication between these multiple devices, which requires data simultaneously at faster speeds and lower latency along with wider coverage. 

Wi-Fi 6 will enable devices to work in an optimal manner even in interference zones (i.e. multiple Wi-Fi networks), where the beam forwarding feature of this technology provides overall superior Wi-Fi experience due to the Wi-Fi signal only targeting Wi-Fi 6 enabled devices. 

Wi-Fi 6 is a substantial upgrade over previous generations and introduces new technologies to help mitigate issues that arise when using multiple Wi-Fi devices on a single network, keeping connections strong even as more and more devices start demanding data. Further, the lower latency enabled by Wi-Fi 6 technology provides the best gaming and streaming experience.

Dialog Smart Home recently launched the WiFi 6-enabled ‘Wi-Fi Mesh’, a holistic and highly-secure home Wi-Fi system designed to boost WiFi connectivity to every corner of the home, thereby eliminating low-coverage blind spots. This is the latest addition to Dialog’s portfolio of future-ready solutions and addressing the need for seamless, uninterrupted connectivity.
