2020 has already seen its fair share of popular technological trends. In smartphones, UFS 3 storage is becoming a flagship standard alongside LPDDR5 memory. Similarly, Wi-Fi 6 standard is now quickly becoming the norm as well, both in smartphones and in WiFi routers. Now, a report suggests that the Wi-Fi 6 market share is being dominated by Huawei in China and globally to a certain degree.
According to Dell’Oro, a research and analytics firm, Huawei products with Wi-Fi 6 ranked first with 49.7% of the total market share in China. Across the globe (excluding North America), the Chinese tech giant had a market share of 39% in the international market. This report was titled under Q3 of 2018 to 2019. Huawei was the first to launch Wi-Fi 6 branded products back in 2019 when the standard officially launched.

Notably, the company was already well ahead of the competition with various patents and proposals being submitted to the 802.11ax standard group. Huawei accounted for about 163 such proposals, which accounted for 15% of all proposals. This was the highest contribution from any vendor. The company is also a pioneering figure in 5G infrastructure and equipment, so it comes as no surprise that its expertise extends to include the new WiFi standard.
Recently, the company launched its AX3 series of Wi-Fi 6 routers. The reason for their specific mention is due to its properties since it was the first smart Wi-Fi 6 router. This was launched last month on 24th February 2020 and was known for its large bandwidth of 1024-QAM and 160MHz. Meaning, it was a dual band router with speeds as high as 3000Mbps (2.4GHz600Mbps + 5GHz 2400Mbps).
