The 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard has started to gain rapid traction, and will become the highest shipping Wi-Fi standard yet, says Strategy Analytics in 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO: The Next Mainstream Wi-Fi Standard, published by the Strategy Analytics RF & Wireless Component Services.
Christopher Taylor, Director of Strategy Analytics' RF & Wireless Component Services, said that 802.11ac Wave 2 with MU-MIMO provides significant benefits to users and a better Wi-Fi user experience compared to 802.11n and 802.11ac Wave 1, but works best when both ends of the Wi-Fi connection have Wave 2-capable radio chips.
"With the efforts of Qualcomm and other chip suppliers, more than 60 mobile device models with 802.11ac Wave 2 have now reached the market, and Wi-Fi equipment vendors have embraced Wave 2 for residential and enterprise Wi-Fi infrastructure applications,” he said.
David Watkins, Director of the Strategy Analytics Connected Home Devices service, added, "Hundreds of millions of Wave 2-enabled mobile devices will ship in 2016, leading to sales of tens of millions of Wave 2 routers and related infrastructure through 2017.”
