1
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:07,620
Lots of people just don't care about the technical details of why it's better from a consumer point

2
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:08,220
of view.

3
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:12,960
And if you're explaining this to management, it becomes very easy.

4
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:15,030
Six is better than five.

5
00:00:19,430 --> 00:00:20,810
I'm walking here in the forest.

6
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:22,880
Why does that matter?

7
00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:28,790
Well, the great thing is, I can pull out my phone and I can still check my email if I want to.

8
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:34,120
Now, for a lot of us, when we go out into nature, we don't want to have access to the Internet.

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,030
But I think for many of us, we still want to be connected.

10
00:00:38,390 --> 00:00:45,590
Now, the great thing about the cellular network is I can see how good my signal is by simply looking

11
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:46,370
at my phone.

12
00:00:46,610 --> 00:00:49,980
It's just shifted actually from 3G to 4G.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:59,120
So I know that 4G is better than 3G because of the simple numbering convention used in cellular networks.

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:09,350
I know that 5G is going to be better than 4G and 4G is better than 3G simply because of the numbers.

15
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:19,490
So really happy that I've walked up this hill a bit, a bit out of breath, but my signal has improved

16
00:01:19,490 --> 00:01:22,040
from 3G to 4G, which is great.

17
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:26,950
Internet connection is now better, but in wi fi we don't have that.

18
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,570
Well, we didn't have that.

19
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:35,030
We had weird numbers and names like 8 to 11 B in the past.

20
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:40,010
From a non-technical users point of view, they just didn't seem to be any logic.

21
00:01:40,460 --> 00:01:49,490
We have edited at 11 B and then we go to A and then suddenly we go to G and then we go to N and then

22
00:01:49,490 --> 00:01:52,250
we go to a, C and now X.

23
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,750
There's no logic in that.

24
00:01:53,750 --> 00:01:56,650
So you know which channels are used?

25
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,200
Who cares about the channels?

26
00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:04,220
If you're a non-technical user, all you care about is speed and reliability.

27
00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:12,080
So which standard allows me to connect to the Internet more quickly with less trouble and which one

28
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,770
is quicker?

29
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,920
All I care about is getting to Facebook as a user.

30
00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:18,470
I don't care about the underlying infrastructure.

31
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,470
I mean, as an analogy, do you care how your electricity gets to your house?

32
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:25,180
No.

33
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:29,270
All you care about is that when you turn the lights on, they go on.

34
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:32,870
So from a non-technical user's point of view, the same thing applies.

35
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:39,440
They don't care if A is better than G, it's better than A, C or whatever.

36
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:42,410
They just want better throughput, better reliability.

37
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,330
And I think the wi fi alliance has done something really good here.

38
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,830
They've changed the naming convention used.

39
00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:50,040
They've changed the name.

40
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:56,980
So rather than talking about a C or a X from a layman's point of view or a non-technical user's point

41
00:02:56,980 --> 00:03:02,290
of view, we can now talk about wi fi six, wi fi five, wi fi four.

42
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:10,060
So n is wi fi four not as good as a C, which is wi fi five which is not good as a six which is wi fi

43
00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:10,690
six.

44
00:03:10,930 --> 00:03:17,020
It's so much easier for a non technical user to understand which wi fi is better.

45
00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:20,920
Six is obviously better than five, which is obviously better than four.

46
00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:26,250
And guess what?

47
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,260
Yeah, I've got a 4G connection.

48
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:34,410
I know once again that 4G is better than 3G, which is better than 2G.

49
00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:37,980
I don't have to understand the technical details of why it's better.

50
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:41,130
I just know it's better because four is better than three.

51
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:49,650
And in the same way I know as a consumer or user non-technical person, that wi fi six is better than

52
00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:57,420
wi fi five better than wi fi four for lots of people just don't care about the technical details of

53
00:03:57,420 --> 00:04:00,900
why it's better from a consumer point of view.

54
00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:05,640
And if you're explaining this to management, it becomes very easy.

55
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:07,710
Six is better than five.

56
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:13,200
If they want to know the technical details, you can get into the technical details and we'll discuss

57
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,880
that in this video.

58
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,050
But you don't have to.

59
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:23,280
You can simply say six is better than five, just like you and probably many people at, you know,

60
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:31,290
just to just assume or know in inverted commas that 4G is better than 3G and they'll know that five

61
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:33,930
G is better than 4G.

62
00:04:34,050 --> 00:04:40,380
We just assume that because that's what we've been told without actually understanding necessarily.

63
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:46,170
It may not be true for you, but for a lot of people the technical details of why 4G is better than

64
00:04:46,170 --> 00:04:46,950
3G.

65
00:04:47,250 --> 00:04:52,440
As a consumer, we just realize that if we get a 4G connection, the Internet is going to be faster.

66
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,700
So I'm going to be happier.

67
00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:56,100
Same is true now for wi fi.

68
00:04:56,490 --> 00:05:02,970
If I get a wi fi six router, I'm going to be a lot happier then someone who's got a wi fi three router

69
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,390
or wi fi full router because it's going to be quicker, it's going to be better, it's going to be easier

70
00:05:09,390 --> 00:05:10,170
to connect.

71
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:15,330
And all I care about is getting to Facebook, getting to Instagram, getting to certain websites as

72
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:16,440
quickly as I can.

73
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:18,780
I don't care about the technical details.

74
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:26,610
So this rebranding exercise makes a lot of sense, and it makes it a lot easier for vendors to brand

75
00:05:26,610 --> 00:05:33,480
their routers and their wireless devices so that users know which device is better.

76
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:42,120
A device with a branding of six is going to be better than a device with a branding of five or four.

77
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,740
Just like we know that five G is better than 4G, which is better than 3G.

78
00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:49,050
So makes a lot of sense.
