Wi-Fi Alliance® member products and technologies continue to be revealed at CES, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and changing the way we as a society work, play, and remain connected. Many products involving mobility and in-home conveniences—smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearables, smart appliances, home networking, and security systems—use Wi-Fi® as their backbone. The inherent strengths of Wi-Fi only continue to enable a growing range of services and increase device capabilities.
CES 2019 will reveal an array of products containing next generation Wi-Fi 6, and the next generation of Wi-Fi will be top-of-mind for device makers and consumers alike. Wi-Fi advancements expected to be featured at CES include:
