In the latest evolution of the wireless connectivity standard, the Wi-Fi Alliance has introduced Wi-Fi QoS Management, a certification programme designed to deliver a standardised approach to traffic prioritisation that improves the Wi-Fi experience with real-time applications.
The new standard builds on the Wi-Fi Certified WMM format to deliver what the wireless industry trade organisation says is a consistent, end-to-end approach to quality of service (QoS) treatment in Wi-Fi networks.
The Wi-Fi Alliance has kicked off a new certification program that brings a standardized approach to traffic prioritization when traffic demands exceed the available bandwidth on the network.
As a QoS-related step beyond Wi-Fi s traditional equal priority access approach, the new certification program centers on enabling Wi-Fi devices, applications and network managers to prioritize traffic flows, ensuring that traffic for real-time applications and services is inserted into queues with higher priority.
This new Wi-Fi QoS Management capability benefits all generations of Wi-Fi, including Wi-Fi 6, and can operate in all spectrum bands supported by Wi-Fi, including spectrum in the 6GHz band, Kevin Robinson, SVP of marketing for the Wi-Fi Alliance, explained in an email exchange with Light Reading.
