With the rapid popularization of 4K and 8K TVs, Wi-Fi 6 will gradually become the standard for smart TVs and one of the standards for a new smart life. This year MediaTek and Samsung jointly released an 8K TV that supports Wi-Fi 6, as a starting point, MediaTek all series of smart TV chips will support Wi-Fi 6, to enhance the user experience of 4K and 8K TVs. Compared with the previous generation Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 has four major advantages.

1. Wi-Fi 6 meets 4K and 8K video transmission needs

Compared with the previous two generations of wireless technology, Wi-Fi 6's modulation technology is upgraded to 1024-QAM (1024 samples), the more samples, the higher the transmission efficiency. Compared with the previous generation Wi-Fi 5, the number of single-symbol carry increased by 25%, throughput increased by 40%, up to 9.6Gbps throughput. Wi-Fi 6 supports OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access, which can improve bandwidth utilization, response speed is faster, latency is lower, making 4K and 8K video playback more detailed and smooth.

2. Wi-Fi 6 supports multi-device networking speed response

With the support of OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) + 8*8 MU-MIMO (multi-user-multiple input multiple output) technology, Wi-Fi 6 can allow multiple devices to transmit in parallel to automatically match the transmission rate requirements. The device connection will not affect the network rate, thus achieving low-latency network transmission.

3. Wi-Fi 6 enhances the multi-screen interactive experience

When a user uses a mobile device to screen, the average delay of network transmission is reduced from 30 ms of Wi-Fi 5 to 20 ms of Wi-Fi 6, the response speed of Wi-Fi 6 is faster, and the transmission rate is increased by as much as double.

4. Wi-Fi 6 anti-signal interference

Wi-Fi 6's BSS Coloring coloring technology can mark nearby Wi-Fi signals and transmit data from different routers on the same channel. The interference rate can be reduced by 30%, effectively improving the stability of the network.

90 percent of all branded smart TVs have a MediaTek chipset inside, and this includes TVs from brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi.
