Improved Security
Smart WiFi uses WiFi 6 technology for wider channels to send data. It’s like having more space on the road so more cars can move side by side at the same time.
Smart WiFi can split each channel into smaller sub-channels. This means it can send small bits of data to many devices with less delay. It’s like having a smart traffic light that can manage lots of cars at an intersection more efficiently.
Smart WiFi can tag data with a “colour” so your devices can ignore signals that aren’t meant for them, reducing interference. It’s like if you’re talking to a friend in a busy cafe but can easily ignore all the other conversations.
Smart WiFi can communicate with more devices at once. Imagine a teacher who can talk to several students at the same time and each student hears only what’s meant for them.
Smart WiFi can tell your devices to schedule check-ins for data. This way, they can “sleep” when they don’t need to be on, saving battery. Think of it like waking up just in time to receive a package instead of staying up all night waiting for it.
Smart WiFi includes the latest WiFi 6 security protocols to keep your data safer as it zips along the highway.
