Wi-Fi 6 Enabled by ENE.HUB

ENE.HUB delivers flexible and future proofed smart infrastructure that adapts as places and as technologies evolve. Such is the case with Wi-Fi 5 evolving to Wi-Fi 6.

ENE.HUB has commenced the rollout of Wi-Fi 6 throughout ENE.HUB’s existing and under construction smart city networks.

Wi-Fi 6 is the latest and fastest Wi-Fi platform. Wi-Fi 6 offers a 35% increase in data transfer speed compared to Wi-Fi 5. Wi-Fi 6 also delivers increased bandwidth, which is required for more devices these days.

Users too will enjoy Wi-Fi 6 as performance won’t drop off even when there are crowds of people accessing the same Wi-Fi 6 network. More users, with more devices, downloading more data in popular places.

A big plus for the end user is the improved battery life resulting from using a Wi-Fi 6 connection. The improved data connection allows for a smoother and faster transmission of data to handheld devices at the same time saving power.

Compared to its predecessor, Wi-Fi 6 also delivers a significant range expansion. The area covered by a Wi-Fi 6 Access point is increased by up to 50%, allowing more users to connect to one access point and decreasing the risk of black spots.

Wi-Fi 6 is also making using public Wi-Fi a lot more secure by adding a new security update, WPA3, which is encrypting all sessions and adding a layer of security to all incoming and outgoing data.

So by deploying Wi-Fi 6 throughout ENE.HUB’s networks of SMART.NODEs™ we are delivering all of these benefits to people using public spaces. Specifically, the City of Greater Geelong has embraced Wi-Fi 6 by ENE.HUB enabled by smart flexible infrastructure delivering broad and significant Smart City outcomes for the people that live, work, and play in Geelong.
