Tipped to be supported in 2012 by the Mac, the new WiFi standard and could well see its deployment to accelerate this year if we are to believe the site TheNextWeb citing sources familiar with the matter.
Broadcom, a major player in the field of wireless chips, was heavily involved in the standard successor to 802.11n WiFi even if it is society Quantenna who first unveiled a circuit, QAC2300 compatible with the new standard soon November 2011.
Not yet certified by the WiFi Alliance, WiFi ac is at the stage of the fourth draft (draft). However, the non-ratification of the specifications will not prevent the new standard to take off, as n Wifi did in his time.1.3 Gb / s!
Wifi ac leads to broader, higher throughput and lower power consumption (thanks to systematic optimization of the use of antennas via Beamforming).
In essence, the rate should theoretically achieve 1.3 Gb / s with 80 MHz bands (160 MHz and then) and multiplexing data transmission and reception (MIMO Multiple-In Multiple-Output ) via three antennas. WiFi n capped him at 450 Mb / s with 3 antennas and also bands of 40 MHz.
Another important argument is that the Wifi ac stands for "adoption" bands 5 GHz carrier. Currently, 90% to 95% of the devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band. Through the less crowded 5 GHz carrier, so there will be less interference and devices will benefit from 20 non-overlapping channels against 3 in the 2.4 GHz band.
End of October 2012, the WiGig chipset, otherwise called Wifi 802.11ad standard developed by Qualcomm Atheros and Wilocity, which has been incorporated into a finished product, in this case the ultrabook Dell Latitude 6430u. WiGig but that opens the door to 6Gb / s, has a range too low to compete with Wifi ac. However, both standards can work together.
To date, information has of course not been confirmed by Apple. In addition, there is no evidence that other products the Cupertino could incorporate Broadcom WiFi chipset ac. We think of course the Apple TV, the Time Capsule but also to other iPhone and iPad.
