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.
