IPQ5018 vs IPQ4019-IPQ4029 is safer, lower power consumption and faster-Difference wifi5 and wifi6?

Wi-Fi 5, also known as IEEE 802.11ac, is the fifth generation of wireless network technology

Wi-Fi 6, also called IEEE 802.11.ax, is the sixth generation of wireless network technology and the name of the Wi-Fi standard.

The difference between wifi5 and wifi6 is:

1. The rate of wifi6 is faster than that of wifi5: the maximum rate of WiFi6 can reach 9.6Gbps, and the maximum transmission rate of WiFi5 is 3.5Gbps.

2. Wider frequency band: WiFi5 only involves 5Ghz frequency band, while WiFi6 covers two frequency bands of 2.4 and 5Ghz

3. More secure: WiFi 6 devices and wireless router devices need to be authenticated and pass the WPA 3 security protocol when accessing the network, which is more secure.

4. Low power consumption and more power saving: WiFi 6 introduces the TARget Wake Time (TWT) technology, which allows active planning of communication time between devices and wireless routers.

Compared with the previous generation of 802.11ac WiFi 5, the maximum transmission rate of WiFi 6 has been increased from 3.5Gbps of the former to 9.6Gbps, and the theoretical transmission rate has increased by 3 times. In addition, the WiFi 5 standard only supports the 5GHz frequency band, while the WiFi 6 is better compatible with 2.4/5GHz. It is better compatible with terminal devices and can communicate with devices in two frequency bands at the same time! In terms of modulation mode, WiFi 6 supports 1024-QAM, which is higher than 256-QAM of WiFi 5, which makes wifi6 faster than wifi5 in terms of data transmission rate.

Let's take a look at the chip representatives commonly used in WiFi5 and WiFi 6, IPQ4019 and IPQ5018.

The IPQ4019 is the industry's first single-chip WiFi system-on-chip (SOC) that brings Wave-2 802.11ac features to a variety of home and enterprise networking products. Highly integrated, single-chip design combines dual-band 11AC, advanced WiFi functions, and network processing to deliver high-performance, low-power, and low-cost network infrastructure products

Qualcomm IPQ4019 is a common AC router CPU chip. It has a quad-core 700MHz ARM A7 architecture, a 32bit processor, and a maximum memory support of 1GB. It supports multiple wireless configurations, such as dual 5G, 2.4G+5G, etc., and also integrates wifi, support 2x2 MIMO. Up to 1.7Gbps. The chip has better performance and is suitable for high-end routers.

As a communication company that develops, manufactures and designs WiFi products, Wallys will follow up with the IPQ4019 chip as the primary choice for routers.

DR40X9 and DR4019S are currently very popular WiFi5 routers. Its performance can actually meet the needs of many projects. Whether it is for home use or commercial use, it can exert its powerful WiFi performance.
