- What are the key differences between 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2? You can use a bullet list to answer this question with a word or phrase describing each difference followed by 1-2 sentences that summarize the difference.
- 802.11ac Wave 2 is heralded by some as the first true gigabit wireless standard.
What features of the standard must be supported and enabled to maximize throughput to levels approaching or exceeding gigabit speeds?
Does the standard live up to the hype? In other words, will real users operating within realistic deployment scenarios experience gigabit data throughput on a regular basis? - 802.11ac Wave 2 supports parallel “conversations” between access point and clients on the same frequency at the same time. How is this possible? In other words, what technology(ies) are used to avoid the parallel “conversations” from “colliding” with one another? Briefly describe how that/those technology(ies) work.
- Some 802.11ac Wave 2 access points will use 8 transmit antennae. Can the 8 antennae support downstream connections between the access point and 8 different clients at the same time on the same frequency? Why or why not?
