Qualcomm Introduces 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Multi-user MIMO to Triple Network and Device Performance and Efficiency

MU-MIMO is a revolutionary new way for Wi-Fi networks to operate. With standard Wi-Fi, clients are served sequentially; during this time, only one device is sending and receiving information, thus only a small portion of network capacity is being used. The accumulation of these sequential events creates a drop in throughput and capacity as more devices join the network.
