Huawei Successfully Tests New 802.11ax WiFi Standard At 10.53Gbps

Posted by timothy on from the hitting-your-data-cap-quickly dept.

Mark.JUK (1222360) writes "Chinese ICT developer Huawei has confirmed that it was able to achieve a record transmission data rate of 10.53Gbps on 5GHz frequency bands in laboratory trials of their new 802.11ax WiFi (WLAN) wireless networking standard. The testing, which was conducted at Huawei's campus in Shenzhen, used a mix of MIMO-OFDA, intelligence spectrum allocation, interference coordination and hybrid access to achieve the result and the new technology could hit the market during 2018."

    Better, faster ways to access inept content.

      Of course.
        If you had access crappy content slowly, you'd be royally pissed when it finally loads. Used to happen to me all the time on 14.4k dialup.
      At least if it loads quickly, I can write it off faster and go look for slightly less inept content.

      Indeed! I don't care what speed marks they hit, I still would not use one of their back door infested devices even if you gave me one.

      Hey! Calm down, we're talking about Huawei here, not Cisco.

    Nothing limits you to one bit-per-second per baud. 9600 bps modems were, IIRC, 2400 baud with 4 bits per Hz. (Higher than that it got a bit shady because they started optimizing for being encoded in a digital phone line).

    VDSL2 goes up to 32768-QAM, which is 15 bits per symbol. I do not know whether any actual phone lines exist with a sufficient signal-to-noise-ratio to make that coding useful.

    For data transmission rates, you'll want Shannon's channel capacity, which is not contradicted:
    (a) SNR is a factor of channel capacity
    (b) It applies for a single channel. With MIMO you have multiple channels (not independent from each other, but with smart channel coding you get gains over SISO).
