Intel supplies world’s first Wi-Fi 6E device with Samsung not far behind

This year has been a tough year for everyone. However, the WIFI technology has still continued to evolve In the united states, the FCC released a new wireless Spectrum for the WIFI 6E and ASUS is announcing the worlds First WIFI 6E router. With no announcement of any kind, it emerged last week (from various sources including this one) that Intel has begun delivering what we believe is the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E capable device in the shape of an M.2-format card that can be installed into compatible desktops or laptops.

The WIFI 6E takes advantage of the latest available wireless spectrum in the 6GHz band which provides 3 times more bandwidth than the current 5GHz band and also provide 7 extra 160 MHz channels to the current WIFI 6 standard and most importantly it will be dedicated to WIFI 6E devices which means your latest WIFI 6E devices won’t be slowed down by legacy devices.

If you want your desktop or laptop PC to actually connect to a network using 6E technology, your are of course going to need a Wi-Fi 6E Access Point. The only 6E-capable Wi-Fi AP thus far released – that we know of – is this unit from ASUS released just a few weeks ago. So yes, if you want to get started on 6 GHz Wi-Fi networking already today, it is indeed already possible with commercially available equipment.

The Wi-Fi chipset platform for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is – as always – provided by Broadcom, who also supplies Wi-Fi technology to Apple. Thus Broadcom continues to supply the world’s two largest phone manufacturers with Wi-Fi technology.
