- 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.
