India is one of the fastest growing Wifi market in the world yet the irony is that the average internet speed is the lowest among emerging economies. The wired broadband is available to 17 million consumers and is lower than what the service providers promised. Wireless connection can get patchy as the Telecom Regulatory Authority in India has not made any headway in the case and the service providers are already in an arguing mood. Trai in its consultation paper has suggested that the Wifi should not fall lower than 512 kbps for broadband. All this results in customers paying a hefty sum of money. With all this statistics how does the future of Wifi Pune look like? Read further…
The latest in Wifi standards is the Wave 2 certified by the IEEE. MU-MIMO is the latest technological innovation; it is Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output. To put it simply, it means, manufacturers can develop access points that can communicate with multiple devices at the same time. Earlier, access points had to take care of multiple streams in a sequence.
802.11 AX key technology is also known as orthogonal frequency division multiple access or the OFDMA. It is transmission technique that enables multiple device to share from the same Wifi channel and not the same access point, simultaneously. Previously Wifi was not able to perform this function, this goes to prove that 802.11 ax is a step above the current technology and is useful when a large number of devices are used from the same access point.
Though, the experts in the field as not positive about a widespread development of new standards, for the reason that it is yet to be formally sanctioned by the IEEE and they won’t stop vendors from releasing 802.11 ax gear even before the standard is being officiated. The fact is that enterprise Wifi is just starting to deploy 802.11 ac Wave 2.
