what is mu mimo technology

What is MU MIMO Technology and Why Do You Need It?

MU-MIMO stands for multi-user, multiple input, and multiple outputs. It is a wireless technology that uses multiple antennas for communication. It was first introduced in 2015 as part of the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard, with the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) protocol adding MU-MIMO support for uplink. Whenever a single access point needs to communicate with multiple clients, MU-MIMO is used there. We have introduced what is MIMO before and now let’s learn about what is MU-MIMO. What is MIMO: We have introduced what is MIMO technology in detail before, most routers can only communicate with a single device at a time. Therefore, when more devices need to connect to a single router, the slower moves because each device has to wait for its turn to send and receive data from the Internet. Similarly, when another new device connects it becomes a little longer. Therefore, MU-MIMO plays an important role by reducing wait time and

what is wireless access point

What is a wireless access point?

Introduction An access point is the core device in a wireless-based network.  Most of the access points are used in the wireless-based network. The main function of the access point is to connect the local devices that are available in the local area network. In order to increase the range of the wireless-based network most of the companies and offices etc. are used the access point. A lot of users can connect with a single access point by using the wireless network. What is an access point? Access points create a small wireless local area network (WLAN).  Most of the access points are used in offices, companies and in a large home in order to cover each corner of the offices, etc. An access point is directly connected to the main router, hub, or switch by using the Ethernet cable. All the devices in the local area network can communicate

what is wireless lan

What is a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)?

What is WLAN WLAN stands for Wireless LAN network. Two devices can communicate wirelessly by using the WLAN technology.  In WLAN there is no cable required between the devices. The devices can communicate by using Wi-Fi and transmit all the data over the Wi-Fi. It’s totally different from the traditional LAN network. Both LAN and Wlan perform the same function but the Lan cable is required between the two devices in order to transmit the data and the WLAN performs the same function without using a cable. It transmits all the data over Wi-Fi. All the new devices come with Wlan technology.  All the new devices use the DHCP technology in order to connect the new devices with the main device. Difference between WLANs and Access Points A WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) allows two or more devices can connect and communicate wirelessly to establish a WLAN within a specific

mesh network topology

What is mesh network and how it works?

What is Mesh Network: Mesh network is the new technology in the field of wireless. The main purpose of the mesh network is to transmit the signal of Wi-Fi/internet in every corner of the house. Mesh network creates multiple routes between the connected nodes in order to transmit the information. The data transmit rate in the mesh network is very high compared to a simple network. As the mesh network has too many routes so there is no hurdle in data transmission. So the data is transmitted in the mesh network at a high rate. The mesh-based network topology is mostly used in big organizations and offices and somehow it’s also used in the offices. If any of one node is down in the mesh network the data is transmitted through another node. Multiple routers and switches are used in the large mesh network and these switches and the router

difference between 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi

2.4GHz Vs. 5GHz Wi-Fi: What’s the difference and which is better

Wireless router uses different frequencies range in order to transmit the data over different devices like computer, laptop, smartphone, etc. Wi-Fi performs better as the frequency value is high. With higher frequency, the data travel at higher rates but covers a small area. The router that operates on 2.4GHz provides more range means to cover a large area but transmit the data at lower rates and the router which operates on 5GHz transmits data at higher rates but covers a smaller area as compared to the router which operates on the 2.4GHz frequency.  Wi-Fi router is built to deliver a specific range of frequencies, so it’s important to think about which Wi-Fi band and the channel would best meet your demands and provide the best performance to the user. Difference between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi Routers: The major difference between these two types of routers is range and speed. 2.4 GHz-based

what is a wireless bridge and how does it works

What is a wireless bridge and how does it work?

A wireless bridge is a device that connects the two access points or the LAN segments by using infrared or microwave transmission. It connects the two different wireless networks that are separated by distance. In a wireless bridge one endpoint act as a master and the other end act as a slave. In a wireless bridge, the master node determines the frequency of the client side and the link established. A wireless bridge is only directional between points A and B, as opposed to an access point, which provides service to numerous endpoints or devices in a spread of 30 to 360 degrees. They are suitable for many different connectivity options because they may be used across small (a few meters) and long (miles) distances. Most of the wireless bridges are directional but some wireless bridges also transmit the signal in 360 degrees. Wireless bridges are mostly used where the

What is Network Switch and How Does it Work?

Networks switches are the core components of Networks. A network switch is an intelligent device that has a function of full-duplex communication and by using the network switch in the industry you can efficiently utilize their bandwidth. Today networks are essential for delivering entertainment to the user end, for supporting the business, and also supports all types of communication. What is Network Switch? A network switch is a device that runs on layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI Model.  A router or the other user end device that is physically connected with the ports of the network switch directly sends packets to the port of the network switch and the network switch sends them out to the other port of the switch that is directly connected with the internet. Nowa day’s network switch also runs on layer 3 of the OSI Model. Layer 3 network also handles the
