widthHe lives in an apartment building and may get better WiFi next year.This Federal Network Agency As it announced on Wednesday, the 6 GHz frequency range was released for this purpose. This means that routers can also broadcast on these frequencies, and so far, they have only done this work on 2.4 and 5 GHz. The additional signal range is designed to provide users with a fast and stable Internet, even if there are many WLAN networks nearby and these networks are in use at the same time. So far, WLAN networks have slowed each other down a bit, but the frequencies that have been released now should alleviate this problem.
It is not clear when consumers will benefit from frequency releases. Because software updates are not enough, you need new hardware. There are currently no routers available in Germany that can be used in the now released 6 GHz range. The first batch of equipment may enter the German market next year. End devices used for the Internet—whether they are smartphones, laptops, tablets, or TVs—must also be compatible with the new Wi-Fi 6E technology standard.
Jochen Homann, Director of the Federal Network Agency, is pleased with the step towards a better wireless fixed-line Internet: “We have almost doubled the available spectrum for WLAN.” This will further advance digitalization and make innovation possible. Thumbs up, a Vodafone spokesperson said: “The new frequency ensures that end customers can better use the high speeds on the Internet.”
The most famous router manufacturer in Germany is Berlin-based AVM, from which Fritz! Boxes comes. “The use of WLAN in the 6 GHz range is a very positive development,” a company spokesperson said. “Because with the increase in the number of mobile devices at home, the “space requirements” of wireless networks are also increasing. AVM has not yet provided routers for transmission in new areas. “We are working closely with Wi-Fi 6E and launching new standards that support Wi-Fi 6E. Corresponding products. “
