Quantenna launches world’s first 802.11ac Gigabit-wireless solution for retail Wi-Fi routers and consumer electronics

2012 International CES, FREMONT, USA: Quantenna Communications Inc., a leader in ultra-reliable Wi-Fi networking for whole-home entertainment, has introduced the QAC2300 chipset, the world’s first gigabit-speed IEEE 802.11ac wireless local-area networking (WLAN) solution.

With 4x4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, the breakthrough product brings best-in-class wireless broadband capabilities to bandwidth-intensive retail and consumer electronics applications. The technology is optimized for a variety of retail consumer electronics products including wireless routers, access points, and high-end consumer electronics devices.

The QAC2300 two-chip solution includes a new 4x4 MIMO digital baseband chip that supports the latest 802.11ac specifications, combined with Quantenna’s shipping radio frequency (RF) chip, which already supports 802.11ac. Quantenna was the first company to develop 4x4 Wi-Fi MIMO technology and has used this high-performance foundation to deliver the first 802.11ac wireless LAN solution. By introducing not just the first 802.11ac technology, but also enabling it with 4x4 MIMO, Quantenna extends its lead over other Wi-Fi competitors who have yet to ship 4x4 MIMO technology.

Quantenna has led the service provider segment with its 802.11n 4x4 technology for whole-home video distribution, leveraging its innovations in MIMO and beamforming technologies. The addition of the industry’s first 802.11ac solution forges new ground, expanding Quantenna’s business into the retail segment. By combining its 4x4 MIMO capabilities with 802.11ac, Quantenna is helping retail and consumer electronics vendors speed time to market for products that will deliver gigabit-wireless speeds during 2012.
