RF Optimizations: Benefits

Benefits

  • Improved noise immunity
  • Fewer sources of interference
  • Increased channel availability
  • Higher utilization of 40MHz channels

Band steering

  • Automatically redirects 5GHz-capable clients to 5GHz spectrum

Concurrent operation in the 5GHz band (E-MSM466)

  • Both radios use 5GHz spectrum to optimize 802.11n performance

Standards-based beamforming

  • Closed loop operation
  • Closed loop TxBF techniques improve accuracy by enabling the receiver to provide direct feed-back to the transmitter to maximize the phase alignment of signals and their reflections
