How 802.11ac Wave 2 Works

80% speed boost compared to Wave 1, thanks to:

Multi-User MIMO Wider RF Channels Four Spatial Streams

(Multiple Input / Multiple Output)
 How 802.11ac Wave 2 Works
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO)
Allows access points to transmit to
multiple client devices all at one time

New clients get on and off the network

quicker, allowing more clients to be served.
