Commercially available in 2021, Wi-Fi 6E can operate in the 6GHz band in addition to supporting the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. According to TrendForce, Wi-Fi 6E is designed to reduce network congestion and interference through more, wider, non-overlapping channels (signal transmission channels in communication systems), while Wi-Fi 6 and 6E's periodic wake-up mechanism ( Target Wake Time) to efficiently coordinate network traffic and maximize smartphone battery life. By 2025, the market share of smartphones supporting Wi-Fi 6 and 6E is expected to exceed 80%.

TrendForce further stated that the market share of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E will reach 58% in 2022, officially surpassing Wi-Fi 5 technology. This adoption is largely due to the fact that countries such as the US, UK, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan have already used the 6GHz band for Wi-Fi technology, as well as support from both countries. Active layout of major mobile phone camps, iOS and Android, and related industry chains.

Additionally, video, telemedicine and navigation systems require greater bandwidth, so lower latency is driving growth in connection traffic in addition to more automotive, IoT and AR/VR solutions expected to enter the consumer market this year.

At the same time, Wi-Fi technology is also expanding into the commercial, industrial and domestic sectors, with smart home and smart lighting seeing the greatest growth in demand. Wi-Fi-based smart home device shipments to grow at a CAGR of 18% in 2021-2026, connect home devices to core home networks via Wi-Fi, and drive AR/VR, cloud gaming, 4K video Applications such as conferencing and 8K streaming. The continuous development of smart home networking technology has further promoted the interconnection of smart lighting. The appeal of smart lighting is convenience, safety and energy savings.

Currently, voice assistants such as Alexa, Cortana, Siri can sync with smart lighting apps and enable voice commands to control features like light switches, brightness and hue.

Therefore, smart lighting can also be used outside the home in factories, offices and even outdoors.
