The landing of 5G and its present and future boom should not be perceived as a threat to the WiFi ecosystem. Quite the contrary, since the coexistence of both technologies brings with it an experience never seen before for users in all kinds of scenarios, regardless of the complexity that they show due to their own physical characteristics or due to the high density of users.
There are many data that continue to support the idea that 5G is already established among us and with a most encouraging future. In fact, according to the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) , the number of announced 5G devices increased by 2.9% in April 2022 to 1,373 devices.
…
In general terms, we can say that WiFi6 and 5G provide an improved experience based on lower latency, higher capacity, range and security in all kinds of environments, including the most demanding.
These advantages are collected in a WBA document entitled White Paper on RAN Convergence , which analyzes the convergence between mobile networks and WiFi technology
It highlights the complementary work that can automate roaming, favoring the transition from a Wi-Fi network to a 5G network or vice versa in a fluid way, without declining the quality of service or its security and without the user noticing the change.
On the part of the mobile operators, they will achieve greater visibility of their networks, better controlling aspects related to the user experience and offering them better services.
For Wi-Fi operators, they will also gain visibility for their networks and improve their customer experience by having the ability to access operator-provided 5G services.
…
We must also highlight the role of Wi-Fi Passpoint, which among its advantages has that users can transition from 5G networks to WiFi and vice versa without any cuts, which is known as offloading.
As you can see, there is no threat to the WiFi sector with the growth of 5G networks in all kinds of environments. As a result, users will enjoy an experience based on speed, robustness, low latency and high data computing capacity, which is applicable indoors, outdoors, for 5G networks of telecommunications operators and for private ones.
Regarding the latter and their potential together with WiFi, if you want to know more details about their use and qualities, we encourage you to take a look at this webinar that we give with our partner Neutroon. In this link you will find more information. as well as the download form for your recording.
