Wi-Fi connectivity, as defined by the IEEE
802.11ac Wave 1 draft specification.
Delivering up to
three times the maximum data rate of today’s high-
end, enterprise 802.11n access points, the Wi-Fi Alliance
™
(WFA)
Certified 802.11ac Module provides enterprise networks with more
reliability and superior performance by supporting up to three spatial-
stream and 80-MHz-wide channels for a maximum data rate of 1.3
Gbps.
●
802.11ac with 3 x 3 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
technology, with three spatial streams, which sustains 1.3-
Gbps rates over a greater range for more capacity and
reliability than competing access points
●
With the Dynamic Channel usage 802.11ac can utilize an 80-
MHz-wide channel and dynamically contract in real-time
based on network characteristics
●
The module provides MIMO-equalization-optimized uplink
performance and reliability by minimizing the impact of signal
fade
●
256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) providing a 30
percent more efficient use of the wireless spectrum
