Three years ago, Qualcomm bought one of the leading developers of equipment for the production of semiconductors Wi-Fi - Atheros company . With developments Atheros Snapdragon processors among the first to receive a companion datasheets, working in the new standard of high-speed Wi-Fi - 802.11ac. Consisting of three MIMO antenna access point Wi-Fi 802.11ac capable of a transfer rate up to 1.3 Gb / s and remain compatible with all previous standards of Wi-Fi. But this compatibility also forced to inherit all the deficiencies that were in previous versions of Wi-Fi 802.11. The company introduced a new family of Wi-Fi sets MU-MIMO (Multi-user MIMO). Compatible with MU-MIMO access point will allow them to simultaneously connect to a group of three users, two to three times increase in the efficiency of the networks.
To support this technology is necessary to equip the relevant radio as client devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.), and the host equipment (access point). Smartphones get support MU-MIMO among the first. These models can be based solutions Snapdragon Snapdragon 801 and 805, including cell phones HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Z2. With APs it is complicated.
Senior solutions for access points now support four channel MIMO (four antennas). This will increase the speed of access to 1.7 Gbit / s. Finally, organized by the simultaneous transmission of data accompanying channels - Bluetooth, WiGig, NFC, GNSS and FM - and through Wi-Fi. Summary data for the new Wi-Fi sets Qualcomm Atheros you can see in the table above. Related Products :
