What does the Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax extended) standard add compared to standard Wi-Fi 6, and what is the primary advantage of the 6 GHz band for enterprise deployments?
- A.Wi-Fi 6E increases transmit power limits, extending the range of 5 GHz signals to match 2.4 GHz coverage
- B.Wi-Fi 6E adds 160 MHz channel bonding capability that is unavailable in standard Wi-Fi 6
- C.Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6 GHz band (5.925-7.125 GHz, up to 1200 MHz of new spectrum in the US), providing up to 59 additional 20 MHz channels or 14 non-overlapping 80 MHz channels; the 6 GHz band is currently uncrowded (no legacy devices), allowing Wi-Fi 6E APs to operate on clean spectrum without interference from older 2.4/5 GHz devices
- D.Wi-Fi 6E adds Bluetooth 5.2 coexistence management to reduce interference between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Why C is correct
