Faster wireless connection is not just a luxury in this day and age, it has become a necessity. This is a fact that the “Wi-Fi Alliance” recognizes, which is why they are pushing for the implementation of router changes that will allow for faster internet connection. The main sticking point for the alliance is the implementation of “Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)” features in routers, which allow for multiple connections with multiple devices instead of doing so one at a time.
Right now, most routers at homes, in business buildings or in schools are only able to service one device at a time, according to PC Mag. This is why wireless connection when a lot of devices are using the internet can get really slow, even for connections with high-speed plans. The obvious solution is to simply implement the “MU-MIMO” connection that is already available right now, but most manufacturers have not been fast on the uptake regarding this particular issue.
As IT World put it, one of the biggest reasons for why the feature has been slow to be adopted involves bad timing and the wire backhaul. With the technology having been available for more than a year, however, “Wi-Fi Alliance” simply doesn’t see any good excuse not to implement the changes that will allow users to connect multiple devices to one router and still maintain fast connection.
Another aspect of the changes that the alliance wants to put in place is the support for 160 MHz channels. Coupled with the increase of spatial streams that allow device speeds to go even faster as well as the increased number of channels available with the 5GHz spectrum, and users can finally look forward to a future where Wi-Fi is undeniably fast. This is exactly what “Wi-Fi Alliance” wanted to achieve, as echoed by a statement made by President and CEO Edgar Figueroa.
"In today's world, people have more Wi-Fi devices per person and per household, and those devices require significantly more bandwidth," he said.
