The widespread arrival of Wi–Fi 6, or 802.11ax, is just around the corner. Expected in Q3, the Wi–Fi Alliance’s upcoming standard is requiring vendors to ensure that Wi–Fi 6-labeled devices meet the agreed upon standards, requiring some to undergo certification programs. According to Christian Gilby, director of product marketing at Mist Systems, a Juniper company, some vendors are rushing to push Wi-Fi 6 products out, and are ending up with chipsets that will not be wi-fi certifiable in the future.
