The wave 2 4x4 mu mimo dual band internals all boost the portal to more than 3x faster than any competitive ac3200 router.
Ac wave 2 speed.
Theoretically using 160 mhz bandwidth means more users can be supported with better performance.
Describes how 802 11ac wave 2 is a business enabler.
Wave 1 phy rate maxes out at 1 3 gbps while wave 2 can be 2 34 gbps.
Even if the throughput was 50 lower than the theoretical phy rate for wave 2 in theory it would still be above 1 gbps.
This page compares 11n vs 11ac vs 11ad to provide difference between 11ac wave1 and 11ac wave2 802 11 standards.
The wi fi alliance separated the introduction of ac wireless products into two phases wave named wave 1 and wave 2.
8 9 from mid 2013 the alliance started certifying wave 1 802 11ac products shipped by manufacturers based on the ieee 802 11ac draft 3 0 the ieee standard was not finalized until later that year.
Compares the ieee 802 11ac wave 1 and wave 2 standards to 802 11n.
Whether you re implementing wave 1 or wave 2 the bottom line is that 802 11ac of any generation offers considerable improvements over older legacy products.
Wave 2 of the 802 11ac standard builds upon wave 1 with the following key additional functionalities.
The original 802 11ac spec itself served as a performance boost over the 802 11n specification that.
Industry standard security wpa2 personal four gige lan ports.
Also mentions how cisco and the wi fi alliance are involved with the 802 11ac specification.
Includes details about technical capabilities as well as upgrade migration considerations.
Ultimately the right technology for your environment will be the technology that best supports your current needs.
It is a 802 11 family of standard which is developed to deliver high data rate and it extends capability of 11a b g n standards.
Moving up to 160 mhz is good for bandwidth since it is similar to adding more lanes on a highway.
Additionally the portal is mesh ready which allows an additional portal unit inside a single home to create a signal strength that s faster and offers more than three times the coverage of the single unit.
Higher speed with up to 2 3 gbps 1 7 gbps in the 5 ghz range multi user multiple input multiple output mu mimo support for better use of frequency.
