Due to the high cost of
5G indoor coverage and weak terminal compatibility limitations, Wi-Fi 6 has overcome the challenges of large bandwidth, large capacity, and low latency in indoor coverage, and can support large bandwidth and low bandwidth such as VR/4K/AGV The key application of time delay, so for enterprises, Wi-Fi 6 network and
5G network can cooperate with each other in most scenarios to achieve the best cost performance of the entire access system. For some special scenarios of enterprises, such as oil fields, mines, and self-driving engineering vehicles, 5G has unique advantages due to its low latency and wide coverage.
For outdoor high-density scenarios with burst traffic, the capacity of 5G networks is still difficult to meet user access requirements without increasing 5G base stations. In these places, the high-density access capability of Wi-Fi 6 is a cost-effective solution to the high-density access of a large number of users and terminals. Wi-Fi 6 "mainly inside" and 5G "mainly outside", the deployment of the two considers more the effect of the solution and the required cost.
The relationship between Wi-Fi 6 and
5G is easily reminiscent of NB-IoT and LoRa. In scenarios where public networks are required, NB-IoT and LoRa are highly complementary, but in the case of industry and enterprise-level private networks. In the project, the NB-IoT private network solution has obvious alternative advantages with other technologies such as LoRa and ZETA.
