As enterprises around the world upgrade to Wi-Fi 6, network infrastructure must evolve in tandem. Wi-Fi 6 access points deliver multi-gigabit speeds, increased device density, and improved efficiency, but only when paired with switches designed to work in tandem. Toda’s line of PoE and multi-gigabit switches ensures that enterprises can take full advantage of Wi-Fi 6 performance without compromise.
Why Wi-Fi 6 Requires Advanced Switching Technologies
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) introduces technologies such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and 1024-QAM, with theoretical wireless speeds up to 9.6 Gbps and support for hundreds of simultaneously connected clients. To handle this backhaul traffic:
Higher port speeds: Many Wi-Fi 6 APs have 2.5 GbE or 5 GbE uplinks — some even require 10 GbE.
Robust PoE power: PoE+ (802.3at) and PoE++ (802.3bt) support is critical for powering feature-rich APs.
Quality of Service: Prioritizes wireless management frames and latency-sensitive applications, ensuring smooth voice, video, and IoT streaming.
Standard 1 GbE switches can become a bottleneck in high-density deployments. Toda bridges this gap with purpose-built switches that deliver the speed and power required for Wi-Fi 6.

Key features: Hitless failover, Virtual Chassis stacking, and centralized CLI/SNMP management.
Maximizing the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 with Toda switches
Seamless Integration
Toda switches automatically identify connected APs via LLDP and apply predefined PoE profiles. Zero-touch provisioning ensures newly installed APs are powered and configured without onsite engineering.
Optimizing traffic flow
Built-in QoS policies prioritize Wi-Fi management frames and VoIP traffic. When used with Toda’s wireless controllers, the switch dynamically segments SSIDs into VLANs, directing multicast video streams or IoT telemetry data to separate uplinks for maximum efficiency.
Future-proof scalability
Enterprises can mix and match a variety of switch models to balance budget and performance. With the rise of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, the modular chassis and field-replaceable line cards enable seamless speed upgrades without wholesale replacement.
Real-world impact
A multinational enterprise deployed 800 Wi-Fi 6 access points across its Asia Pacific offices, reducing wireless latency by 60% and achieving a peak aggregate throughput of 4.5 Gbps per access zone. By upgrading to Toda’s TSW-2500 switches, the IT team eliminated uplink bottlenecks and simplified power management, resulting in a smoother deployment and significant productivity gains.
Choose Toda to help Wi-Fi 6 succeed
Supporting the next generation of wireless networks requires more than just faster access points (APs). Toda’s Wi-Fi 6-ready switches deliver the multi-gigabit speeds, power budgets, and intelligent traffic control required by modern enterprises.
