Now the standards of this wireless data transmission technology are assigned ordered (depending on the date of the announcement) numbers. The upcoming standard, formerly known as 802.11ax, will be called Wi-Fi 6. In addition, the previous standards have also been renamed according to the new classification: Wi-Fi 1: 802.11b (1999) Wi-Fi 2: 802.11a (1999) Wi-Fi 3: 802.11g (2003) Wi-Fi 4: 802.11n (2009) Wi-Fi 5: 802.11ac (2014) The new approach is designed to help manufacturers, carriers and users navigate the market more easily and immediately recognize the presence of various Wi-Fi capabilities in their devices. With the updated naming system, everything is intuitive: the larger the number in the standard name, the newer the technology. It will become easier for companies to advertise their products, and consumers will understand how outdated their gadgets are and when it is time to change them. In addition, the Wi-Fi Alliance has developed special icons that will indicate the standards used for data transmission in available Wi-Fi networks. The new Wi-Fi 6 standard will be certified in 2019, but devices with its support are already available for sale.
