Now, 802.11ac Wi-Fi has become a wireless standard, and the next generation standard 802.11ax is gradually coming.One year, Quantenna, Qualcomm and other vendors have released 802.11ax wireless standard products, Marvell now also stand Out.
Unlike previous Wi-Fi standards, 802.11ax's main purpose is not to continue accelerating (that's another branch of 802.11ad) but to improve space efficiency in the 2.4 / 5GHz band and support 1024-QAM, MU-MIMO, OFDMA And other technologies, can greatly optimize the performance and stability of ultra-wireless device connection, reliability and so on.
Mavell today announced three 802.11ax products with full support for 1024-QAM, MU-MIMO, OFDMA:
88W9068For large enterprises and high-end retail AP, support 8x8 8 spatial streams in the 5GHz band , But does not support the 2.4GH band, there is no Bluetooth.
88W9064For mainstream businesses and retail APs, 4x4 4 spatial streams on the 2.4 / 5GHz band and Bluetooth 5 integration.
88W9064S It is low-end program, mainly for OTT set-top boxes, etc., Only support 2x4 2 spatial streams, integrated Bluetooth 5.
It is unclear the internal specifications of these programs, such as CPU core configuration, network acceleration capabilities, but compared to Qualcomm, Quantenna's program even worse, but others can support up to 8x8 5GHz +4.4 2.4GHz.
But at least, As the infrastructure is getting richer, the days of 802.11ax are not far off.
