The Internet of Things (IoT) will touch every aspect of our lives. It will dramatically change the consumer experience and connectivity. Many analyst continue to tell us that IoT is expected to connect more than 30 billion devices by 2020. Whether it’s a television, thermostat or home security system, the data from IoT sensors is flowing in constant streams from the devices to the network and (sometimes) back.
With the abundance of ever connected mobile devices and traffic being offloaded from cellular networks (on to Wi-Fi), the need for a faster Wi-Fi is critical. To ensure a seamless integration into an IoT infrastructure and address buffering issues with data streams our friends at Linksys have announced that their new Wireless Linksys AC1900 Mu-Mimo router is now shipping.
The new Linksys Max-Stream™ AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA7500) leverages the 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology. MU-MIMO is changing the way wireless routers and devices communicate
Powered on a 1.4 GHZ dual-core and with 4 Gig LAN ports the Linksys AC1900 Router (EA7500) provides consumers with two (600+1300 Mbps) dedicated Wi-Fi bands that deliver combined speeds of up to 1.9 Gbps.
Perfect for the IoT connected home, the Linksys® AC1900 MU-MIMO router (EA7500) sends advanced Wi-Fi to multiple devices at the same time and same speed.
