Luxembourg, 24 April - Sisvel has recently signed up the 30^th licensee of its Wi-Fi 6 patent pool, following an amicable negotiation process. 

The new licensee is the latest business to secure access to the IP available through the programme, which includes patents declared essential to the 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 standard.  

The Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 pool offers a one-stop licence to over 200 patent families recognised by certified independent evaluators as essential to the 802.11ax standard. The participating patent owners are currently Huawei, MediaTek, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Orange, Panasonic, Philips, SK Telecom and Wilus. All have played key roles in the development of this ubiquitous and fundamental technology. 

The pool was founded in July 2022 and has seen a significant surge in interest over the last 18 months, with 20 new licensees coming on board since the start of Q4 2023.  

Combined, the pool’s licensees are responsible for 36.7% of global Wi-Fi 6 sales volumes, according to the Licensable Market Penetration metric. This measures the proportion of Wi-Fi 6 products on the market that are licensed to patents included in the Wi-Fi 6 pool. 

“Securing 30 licensees in less than three years is a clear demonstration of the programme’s attractiveness as a business tool for companies implementing Wi-Fi 6 technology,” says Giorgia Varvelli, who manages the Sisvel Wi-Fi 6 pool. “The programme unlocks significant value for all stakeholders in the wireless networking ecosystem. We are proud to have developed a solution that meets the needs of every part of this growing market and look forward to welcoming more licensees during the rest of 2025.”
