The three things you should know about Wi-Fi 6
and 5G
1. Wi-Fi 6 and 5 G are complementary technologies that will extend the reach
and use of wireless technology. Cisco is invested in both of these
technologies.
2. Cisco has you covered. We partner with the leading device and service
providers for both technologies to offer unrivaled value and integration
into a single solution stack: Cisco DNA
3. For enterprise campus and branch deployments, Wi-Fi 6 will remain the
favored technology. It provides the essential security and control
necessary to support mission critical connectivity.

11ax benefits with OFDMA
Consistent Data
Throughput
Higher client and AP density, improved
spatial reuse via BSS coloring
Lowering Latency at High
Density – Deterministic performance
at scale – real time multimedia in a crowd
Built for IOT
Deterministic, scalable scheduling
(TWT) allowing group and individual
scheduling out to 5 years
OFDMA
Small Packet
Aggregation for reduced
latency
• 3x to 4x more
throughput than
802.11ac via OFDMA
IOT and VoIP –
OFDMA allows parallel
processing of multiple
clients

11ax benefits with BSS Coloring
Increase Channel Efficiency
BSS and client can work to optimize
channel power, creating less noise and
improving SNR
Benefit 2.4 GHz
where many IOT clients operate and/or
High-density networks are desired
Greater range outdoor
links
Flexible Protocol to address multiple use
cases. Variable Guard interval, longer
preamble and narrower subcarriers
make easier to decode

transmit to a larger number of concurrent
clients at once
Spectrum Efficiency
Parallel Processing support for additional
MU-MIMO users (compared to .11ac)
Creating Groups and Managing
AP calculates channel matrix for each user
and simultaneously steers beams to different
users
Multi-User
MIMO
MU-MIMO is now
supported with the
benefits of OFDMA
• Multiuser MIMO gains
on all client types
8 MU-MIMO
transmissions (users in
a group) up from 4

19. © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential
MU-MIMO is now supported in Uplink and Downlink
8 MU-MIMO transmissions (users in a group) up from 4
MU Station UL and DL ACKs come back in parallel USING
OFDMA
AP calculates a channel matrix for each user and
simultaneous steer beams to different users
(creating groups and managing)
Each MU-MIMO transmission may have
its own MCS rate
Larger RU frames 106 and above are used
for MU-MIMO
MU and SU-MIMO is decided by AP w/MU-favoring larger
packets

802.11ax target wake time benefits for IoT
Better battery life and co-existence via RF efficiency improvements
Target Wake Time
With Target Wake Time (TWT), the AP can schedule phones and IoT devices sleep
for long durations (up to 5 years) and then wake the individual device up.
Devices can be configured to wake up as a group to communicate at the same time
sharing the channel for increased network capacity and reduced battery drain.
