What’s the functional difference between 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2?

Wave 1 products have been in use in the market for about 2.5 years.

Wave 2 builds upon Wave 1 with some very significant enhancements:

● Supports speeds to 2.34 Gbps (up from 1.3 Gbps) in the 5 GHz band● Supports multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO)● Offers the option of using 160-MHz-wide channels for greater performance● Offers the option of using a fourth spatial stream for greater performance● Can run in additional 5-GHz bands around the world
