WIFI 7 IS HERE, ARE YOU STILL STUCK WITH WIFI 5?
With the rapid evolution of wireless communication, industries relying on stable and high-performance connectivity must stay ahead. If you're still using WiFi 5 solutions, it's time to explore the new generation of industrial networking with Wallys' DR5018S router board powered by IPQ5018/IPQ5010.
Where Are the Application Scenarios?
Industrial WiFi demands reliability, long-range coverage, and high bandwidth. The Wallys DR5018S series is designed for applications such as:
- Smart factories
- Security surveillance
- Industrial automation
- Outdoor deployments
- IoT & edge computing networks
These environments require low latency, enhanced throughput, and better multi-device connectivity, making WiFi 6 a necessity.
The Former Advantages of DR4019
The DR4019, based on IPQ4019, has long been a go-to solution for many industrial applications due to its stability, affordability, and performance in WiFi 5 networks. It has served well in demanding environments, offering a balance between cost and capability. However, as connectivity demands grow, an upgrade is essential.
Why Upgrade to WiFi 6?
WiFi 6 offers significant improvements over WiFi 5, such as:
- Higher speeds – Increased data rates for better efficiency.
- Lower latency – Ideal for real-time applications.
- Improved device handling – Supports a higher number of connected devices efficiently.
- Better power efficiency – Crucial for IoT applications.
- OFDMA & MU-MIMO – Ensures smooth data transmission in congested environments.
These advantages make WiFi 6 an obvious choice for next-gen industrial applications.
Is Industrial WiFi 6 Much More Expensive Than WiFi 5?
One common concern is pricing. While WiFi 6 solutions may have a slightly higher upfront cost, they offer long-term benefits such as improved performance, extended lifespan, and reduced operational costs. With Wallys, you get cost-effective WiFi 6 solutions tailored for industrial use.
When Should I Choose WiFi 6 and When Should I Opt for WiFi 7?
- Choose WiFi 6 (IPQ5018/IPQ5010) if you need a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance upgrade from WiFi 5.
- Consider WiFi 7 when you require multi-link operation (MLO), extremely high throughput, and lower interference in advanced applications.
For most industrial needs today, WiFi 6 remains the best balance of performance and cost.
