Today, technology heeds our commands at the touch of a button, and the credit ball falls into the court of futuristic Wi-Fi connectivity. It is all due to Wi-Fi’s advanced technologies, which have enabled new capabilities and built a more CONNECTED world.
Wi-Fi 6 and its future generations have made it feasible for consumers to relish high-performing connectivity in a secured environment. The debut of frontier connectivity has transmuted the way people communicate, do business, and consume entertainment and information.
Existing connectivity technologies are expanding and evolving, with new standards that boost network performance—and they are much less capital-intensive.
Wi-Fi: amplifying next level of efficiency, safety, and agility in manufacturing.
Undeniably, Internet connectivity is all set to branch out, mushrooming to be spread across more geographies than ever before. To meet this demand, industries are putting their best foot forward and bidding farewell to rigid and siloed connectivity and welcoming continuous coverage of high-bandwidth, low-latency from Wi-Fi generations.
A digital spin to Industries
Latest Wi-Fi technologies empower immeasurable Access Points to connect IoT devices, smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, smart TVs, video cameras, monitors, printers, and other consumer devices to the Internet to enable millions of business functions to work everywhere.
A modern factory is a medley of high-tech activity, wherein data-empowered workers managing industrial machines can be witnessed. This is a clear sight of blanket coverage of Internet connectivity, transforming the industry from every possible corner. A digitalized industry consists of AI, IoT, 3D printing, and robotics, enabling Industry 4.0 to work to its full potential.
The role of Wi-Fi connectivity to make this digital cycle function, the Internet technologies have evolved to provide more productive, sustainable, and flexible opportunities.
Internet evolution across the Industry revolution
Indeed, connectivity has gone through a drastic change to make pace with the ongoing demand on the global forefront. The adoption of well-connected machines and related services has spurred, as existing network technologies are expanding their reach. This “advanced connectivity” is bridging the physical and digital world through cyber-physical systems, enabled by IIoT-Industrial IoT.
Since, Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is all about making businesses smarter and more automated, the role of Wi-Fi in making this process impactful cannot be dodged off. With the advent of advanced network technologies of Wi-Fi 6, the industries have switched mechanical and analog methods to digital ones.
Further, Wi-Fi 6 and its upcoming generations like Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 would focus on deepening the impact of the digital technologies by making the machines more self-sufficient, traverse colossal amounts of data and be able to “talk” to one another in ways that humans can simply never talk.
It wouldn’t be wrong to mention that Industry 5.0, which refers to people working alongside robots and smart machines, would receive a foundational shift with Wi-Fi 7 in how businesses shall operate and function with a fully automated approach.
How are Wi-Fi generations impacting the Industry revolution?
Since industrial revolution has paved the way for transformative changes in the way we live through perfect storm of technologies, this is a time of greater promise. However, the challenges of leveraging operational efficiency, refining demand forecasting, breaking down data silos, engaging in predictive maintenance, boosting workers’ safety, and virtual training, have been well-answered by the Wi-Fi generations over the years. Whether it is planning to delivery with solutions for deep analytics, floor data sensors, smart warehouses, asset tracking, and much beyond, Wi-Fi generations helped to bridge the gap. Now, industries are experiencing a more transparent process, visible across with a glut of insights.
Wi-Fi evolution in connectivity beyond IMAGINATION
With the advent of new technologies like Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6, 5G, and Mesh Network, the floodgates for products and services that will utilize next-generation Wi-Fi capabilities are only starting to open.
