802.11ac has quickly become the current Wi-Fi standard as 802.11n gradually moves closer to being a legacy standard. It is therefore important to understand the key features and benefits of 802.11ac.

This paper explains the top reasons to move to 11ac and helps you understand how Silex is bringing an extremely reliable, next-generation, enterprise-grade SDIO Wi-Fi module "SX-SDMAC" based on industry-leading Wave2 MU-MIMO 802.11ac technology.

This paper covers: 

• 5GHz-Only Operation
• Wider Channel Bandwidth – 80MHz & 160MHz
• Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)
• 256-QAM Higher-Order Modulation
• Single-Method Closed-Loop Transmit Beamforming & LDPC
• Space-Time Block Coding
• Backwards Compatibility with Legacy Wi-Fi Standards
• Expanded MIMO Streams
• Choose the Right Module to Quickly Migrate to 802.11ac
