NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS Broadcom Doubles Wi-Fi Speed with First Six Stream 802.11ac MIMO Platform Broadcom Corp. has introduced the industry's first six stream 802.11ac MIMO platform for home networks. Broadcom's 5G WiFi XStream is up to 50 percent faster than MU-MIMO routers and gateways. The new platform has twice the bandwidth of existing 802.11ac routers and gateways, and provides advanced software to double performance of today's best-selling Wi-Fi devices for high-definition (HD) streaming and data consumption. By offering Wi-Fi data rates up to 3.2 Gbps, Broadcom's 5G WiFi XStream delivers an ideal experience for users who are simultaneously consuming more data, connecting Internet of Things devices and streaming HD content to multiple screens. Broadcom's Intelligent Quality of Service (iQoS) advanced software identifies incoming traffic and allocates bandwidth so that applications like Netflix or YouTube get the highest priority while other applications, like file downloads, run at a lower priority. Broadcom's SmartConnect software automatically ensures that 802.11ac devices in the home are not sharing airtime with slower Wi-Fi devices. This process doubles the performance of all devices in the network. "With the booming Internet of Things ecosystem and demand to wirelessly stream simultaneous HD content on smartphones, tablets and smart TVs, home networks today need a premium performance router that recognizes individual bandwidth requirements for an optimal experience," said Rahul Patel, Broadcom VP and GM, Wireless Connectivity Combos. "ASUS has recognized the significant potential of 802.11ac technology since its introduction," said Tenlong Deng, ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. VP of Networking and Wireless Devices Business Unit. "With Broadcom's powerful new 5G WiFi XStream platform, we can help our customers connect more devices and simultaneously stream more HD content."
