Products built to the new IEEE 802.11ac amendment feature "wired-like" speeds, data rates beyond 1 Gig, unprecedented user density, scalability in large venues, and better client battery life. All this new capability is provided by larger swaths of bandwidth available in the 5 GHz band and sophisticated modulation and coding schemes enabled by advanced signal processing techniques.

Among the technologies offered by the latest 802.11ac products is Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output or MU-MIMO. MU-MIMO is the ability of the wireless access point (WAP) to engage multiple clients simultaneously. Of course, prior generations of WAPs could engage multiple clients "simultaneously", but only in the sense that multiple clients could be associated with a WAP and be communicating with it, but only one at a time. The new MU-MIMO will permit multiple client devices to be communicating, truly, at the same time.
