Quantenna Bulks Up Its Wi-Fi

January 07, 2013 |
LAS VEGAS -- Quantenna Communications, Inc., a leader in ultra-reliable Wi-Fi networking for whole-home entertainment, announced it will demonstrate the world’s first dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) 4x4 MIMO (four streams) technology optimized for service providers and retail applications at this week’s International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), January 8-11 in Las Vegas.

Quantenna’s new dual-band, multi-standard-based 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi technology delivers unmatched reliability and performance over Wi-Fi in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The Quantenna dual-band solution solves the main issue of service providers today, which is the support for legacy Wi-Fi devices − while enabling wire-like, superior video distribution over wireless with unrivaled range at more than 200 feet, including through concrete walls and multiple floors superior video quality. In addition, this will enable deployment of Quantenna based solutions for all applications including the use of Wi-Fi hotspots for cellular offload.

“Service providers’ Holy Grail of coverage, performance and quality for legacy devices is finally realized by Quantenna’s offering a dual-band, 2.4GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi solution,” said Dr. Sam Heidari chief executive officer for Quantenna. “Users can now enjoy the same reliability offered previously on the 5 GHz band, now with their 2.4GHz legacy devices. For the first time, enhanced performance of the 2.4 GHz products is achieved based on full Wi-Fi standards.”
