10G Wave 3 is said to provide the flexibility and scalability to meet the growing demand for Wi-Fi capacity. Quantenna claims it is the first and only company implementing 10G Wave 3 to support speeds up to 10Gbit/s. This speed is attained by combining the industry’s first True 8x8 MIMO configuration for 5GHz networks with a 4x4 MIMO configuration on 2.4GHz networks for a combined 12-stream configuration.
Quantenna’s 10G Wave 3 platform is claimed to deliver the maximum capacity within the minimum spectrum so that more streams can be simultaneously transmitted with improved range and reliability. This means that 802.11 Wi-Fi access points or gateways using Quantenna’s 10G Wave 3 product family can support more clients, each running more efficiently for applications such as real-time video, OTT video, voice, IoT and other services.
The QSR10G Wave 3 product family also supports an adaptive MIMO architecture. This enables 10G Wave 3 access points to maximise overall network performance, delivering the best possible capacity across all client devices. This is important as the mix of legacy and new client devices are changing, as end consumers adopt more devices with 802.11ac.
