China, Japan, and South Korea are expected to be the main contributors to the Asia Pacific Wi-Fi 6 and 6E market.

Wi-Fi 6 offers advantages over previous generations in terms of network speed, capacity, and responsiveness. Due to the 1024-QAM modulation scheme and uplink resource scheduling mechanism, Wi-Fi 6's data rate exceeds 1Gbps. Wi-Fi 6 also enhances the user experience in dense environments and addresses emerging high-bandwidth, low-latency use cases. Wi-Fi 6 delivers higher speeds and supports more data-intensive applications, including 4K UHD video streaming, real-time immersive gaming, and mobile augmented reality.
