Samsung Electronics' '2021 Neo QLED 8K' Obtains Wi-Fi 6E Certification

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Samsung Electronics announced on the 30th that its 2021 Neo QLED 8K products have obtained Wi-Fi 6E certification. The models covered are QN900A and QN800A.

Samsung Electronics stated that this certification was granted on the 26th through the WFA technical standards association, marking the first time a TV product has received Wi-Fi 6E certification.

Wi-Fi 6 includes technologies that increase data transmission speeds up to four times faster than before and enable stable connections even when multiple devices connect to a single router. Wi-Fi 6E is an enhanced technology that allows the use of the 6GHz band in addition to the existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, featuring multi-gigabit data processing, low latency, connection reliability, and the latest security enhancements.

Recently, as large-capacity data processing is increasingly required for 8K/4K high-definition videos, VR content, and high-spec games on TVs and mobile devices, mobile devices such as the Galaxy S21 Ultra have also been released with Wi-Fi 6E functionality.

Choi Yonghoon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business Division, said, "The Neo QLED 8K receiving Wi-Fi 6E certification is a proactive response to future trends," adding, "As a leader in the TV industry, we will continue to quickly apply the latest technologies to our products so that consumers can enjoy various benefits."

The Wi-Fi 6E certification obtained this time will be applied to the products through a future software update.
