2021 Neo QLED TVs are the world’s first TVs to obtain Wi-Fi 6E Certification from Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA), providing stable and reliable wireless connectivity

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 22 July 2021 – Samsung has announced that its 2021 Neo QLED 8K TV models (QN900A, QN800A) have earned the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA).  Wi-Fi 6E, a new standard in connected technology, offers Samsung Neo QLED 8K TV owners not only four times faster connectivity^[1], but also stable and reliable data transfers – even when multiple devices are connected to one router – perfect for those who enjoy immersive high-definition OTT content.

The newly certified Wi-Fi 6E technology is designed to use 6GHz frequency in combination of its existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. Now, select Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs can support larger bandwidth loads, process faster multi-gigabit data, enable low latency and provide reliable and secure connectivity. In addition, Wi-Fi 6E technology will be further implemented into existing and future TV portfolios, given the breadth and depth of the technology’s use cases today and in forthcoming applications.

As TVs and mobile devices continue to evolve into connectivity hubs for consumers across a variety of lifestyle routines, demand for handling high data capacity has increased. Whether streaming 4K and 8K high-definition videos, or enjoying VR content and high-performance games, Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K TVs with Wi-Fi 6E support are for consumers looking for premium viewing experiences at home.

“As the global leader in the TV industry, Samsung is proud to have achieved the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E certification on our TVs.” said Nivash Ramsern, Head: Visual Display at Samsung South Africa. “With a growing set of immersive content experiences and features across the home, the certification provides Neo QLED 8K TV owners with even better access to the things they love to do.”
