Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking

Posted by michael on from the bandwidth-hog dept.

icypyr0 writes "The Register reports: 'Current dual-mode 802.11 'a' and 'b' access points use only one of Wi-Fi's 11 RF channels at a time, with users taking turns. The Engim chipset can 'see' all 11 at once, and can use the three non-overlapping ones (1, 6 and 11) in parallel, increasing total throughput and enabling features to be incorporated in silicon that are usually implemented, at extra cost and performance degradation, in software.'"
