- 802.11ac Enhancements: Includes Multi-User MIMO, wider RF channels, and more spatial streams for faster and more efficient network performance. There are 2 variants of 802.11ac — phase 1 and phase 2. 802.11ac is faster compared to previous standards because of the introduction of the below - Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) — Clients get on and off the network quicker, allowing more clients to be served, Pre Wave 2 an access point would talk to the clients one at a time and this was called SU-MIMO. Multi-user MIMO is important because it allows access points and their many antennas to transmit (or talk) to multiple client devices all at the same time. This helps maximize air-time efficiency so that each client, regardless of what version of 802.11 it is running, gets the amount of airtime it's supposed to get based on the technology supported. - Wider RF Channels — Wave 2 improvement is the option to use 160-MHz channel widths. That's double what we saw with Wave 1 technology. Think of this as a 2 line interstate road where two additional lines have been added. The top speeds depend on the whether the AP supports 80-MHz or 160-MHz channels, as well as whether the wireless client devices tapping your network support Wave 2. - Four Spatial Streams — Wave 2 also supports four transmitting and receiving antennas while the previous iteration supported only three receive antennas. Just like we see in the image below, With 4 spatial streams an AP could send 4 streams of data to the same client at the same time. The client can then aggregate this 4 streams and thus improve its throughput. It is also important to notice that on the AP side, the greater the number of receive antennas, the greater the distance that a particular data rate can be sustained.
