Wave 2 on the other hand is more suitable for the demands of mobile devices as it has multi user mimo capabilities.
Ac wave 2 devices.
The original 802 11ac spec itself served as a performance boost over the 802 11n specification that.
This is an advantage because a wireless connection can be used to support dozens of devices all needing a high bandwidth connection.
This means that the spectrum is used.
It supports more connected devices.
Similarly wave 2 a superset of wave 1 requires new hardware in both access points and client devices to support the additional 802 11ac capabilities such as mu mimo channel widths up to 160 mhz and the potential for a fourth spatial stream.
Why aruba 802 11ac wave 2.
The second wave of wireless networking gear based on the 802 11ac standard collectively wave 2 is the current cutting edge of wi fi technology.
The 802 11ac 2013 update or 802 11ac wave 2 is an addendum to the original 802 11ac wireless specification that utilizes mu mimo technology and other advancements to help increase theoretical maximum wireless speeds from 3 47 gbps in the original spec to 6 93 gbps in 802 11ac wave 2.
Our latest 802 11ac wave 2 aps are a cut above the competition.
Wave 2 offers offers greater density than wave 1in that it supports multiuser multiple input multiple output mu mimo.
Ieee 802 11ac is a wireless networking standard in the 802 11 set of protocols which is part of the wi fi networking family providing high throughput wireless local area networks wlans on the 5 ghz band the standard was developed in the ieee standards association from 2008 par approved 2008 09 26 through 2013 and published in december 2013 ansi approved 2013 12 11.
Devices using the 802 11ac wave 2 standard have started to ship in earnest and interoperability certification has begun which will lead to accelerating adoption in 2016 and 2017.
Pair two onboard 1gbe ports with link aggregation lacp to maximize throughput between the ap and wired switch.
These devices will also be able to get on and off of the wireless network more easily.
Connect more devices simultaneously with four mu mimo spatial streams and concurrent dual band 2 4 5ghz radios while enhancing non wave 2 device performance.
But there s a school of thought out.
Some devices using 802 11ad which adds 60 ghz to wi fi have also started to ship.
