Wi Fi on Steroids (300 Mbps) Combines multiple WiFi radios within a single system

◦ 5Ghz radio for 802.11n & 802.11a (300 Mbps)

◦ 2.4Ghz radio for 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n (300 Mbps)

5Ghz = MUCH cleaner airspace, 23 non-overlapping channels (vs. 3 non-overlapping channels with 802.11b/g)

Leverages “spatial multiplexing”, channel bonding and other advanced techniques to boost performance
