Wireless AC coming soon!!!

[feredim-924]

Anyone else pumped for it? We're talking 1300 mb/s

 

[TechBoyJK]

Wireless Air Conditioning?

 

[slayernine]

Wireless Alternating Current? No thanks, I'll pass.

 

[drebo]

Nope, because it's not going to help anyone. Doesn't address the two biggest issues with wireless: frequency congestion and simplex communication.

We need antennae that are capable of sending and receiving at the same time and we need more frequency.

Exactly what are you talking about? Since when has there a problem with what you are saying?

 

[wirednuts]

sigh, no link so nobody has any idea what the fuck op is talking about. not very exciting

im guessing he means 802.11ac

which supposedly the 1st gen is 1300mbs and it will potentially go up to 5.8gbs or something.

ill wait till the kinks are worked out of the 5gbs products then i might think of buying into it. still a couple few years away.

nothing to freak out about yet

You must not use wireless in a business setting.

YES THANK YOU, there can only be one wireless AC(as if there is such a thing as wireless air conditioning lmao)... Trendnet and Buffalo showed off alot when they unveiled their prototypes

ahhh there can be only one wireless ac.....there can also be only one cornholio

Irrelevant Pics are OK in OT and the like, not in a technical forum.

a new IEEE standard?

 

[drebo]

The problem is that 802.11ac, while "faster," doesn't resolve the speed issues that wireless networking has. You can increase the symbol rate all day long and play around with different modulation schemes to your heart's content, but it's still for naught because it's still plagued by being a simplex connection with far too little frequency bandwidth.

 

[JackMDS]

802.11n, the 2.4GHz part has only 3 separate (none overlapping channels 1 6 11).

Thus the MIMO affect that the 802.11n is based upon is restricted to one double channel MIMO combo.

In contrast 802.11a (5Ghz) has many more sparate channels so more channels can be combined to go up to few Gigabits of bandwidth.

So ac would be able to create more than just one MIMO doubler by using more pairs of separate channels.

The draw back.

1. 5GHz does not propagate as well as 2.4GHz

2. If the same channles would be MIMOed by every one the singal to noise ratio in a congested enviroment full of 801.11ac would be terrible.

As usually with Wireless depending on the environment, some users will benefit from the "ac" arrangement, some would get worse Wireless, and for many it probably would not be different from the current Wireless network that they have.

There is work being done on modulating orbital angular momentum (in addition to standard spin modulation). The hope being that you can (ideally) have an infinite number of people using the same channel simultaneously.

Pointless. Most networks are already faster than the hard drives the data is being read/written on. Once again and as always, archaic 1950s data storage using mechanical read/write heads is the limit, not networks or CPUs.

Actually, there has been talk of wireless AC power delivery being developed. Therefore your topic title was ambiguous.

Can't wait until the day SSD's are cheap as hard drives. :awe:

Coming to think of it, I can see only enterprises getting this new wifi standard. I can't see how a home user needs over a gigabit of wifi Layer 1 connectivity. My local ISP's highest package is 100Mb, and even then the average user doesn't need that much bandwidth.

Didn't Tesla do wireless AC about a century ago ?
