Quantenna Announces World’s First Full-Duplex 802.11ax Mesh Chipset Solution
October 23 2017 - 12:01AM
Broadband World Forum
-- Quantenna Communications, Inc.
(Nasdaq:QTNA), the innovator and global leader of high performance
Wi-Fi solutions, today announced its QSR10R-AX chipset for 802.11ax
mesh repeater networks. Quantenna will be showcasing the QSR10R-AX
at Broadband World Forum Telecoms Conference & Industry Event
in Messe, Berlin, October 24-26.
Building on Quantenna’s market leading Wi-Fi technologies, the
QSR10R-AX is the world’s first solution to combine three 4x4
802.11ax radios and integrated CPU cores for optimal mesh repeating
functionality. It supports the newest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ax, in
order to address the growing needs of customers who want to offer
high performance and cost optimized mesh products.
Quantenna’s new QSR10R-AX includes an unrivaled three 4x4
802.11ax radios that allow full-duplex operation as opposed to
half-duplex found in many mesh products today. Full-duplex allows
mesh repeaters to reliably extend network coverage without
unnecessary interfering with a home gateway by using a different
radio frequency. This allows not only higher speeds but also better
quality of service and coverage. In addition, the QSR10R-AX has
embedded CPUs to provide full Access Point (AP) and bridging
functionality. There is no need for customers to add an external
CPU thereby saving size, power and cost.
When combining QSR10R-AX 4x4 capability with a 4x4 or 8x8
residential gateway you maximize coverage for large homes without
compromising network performance and reliability. Quantenna’s
QSR10R-AX supports simultaneous delivery of video, voice and data
to increasing numbers of internet-connected, wireless devices such
as smart phones, tablets, computers and the Internet of Things
(IoT). It is designed to provide steady, high-speed, high-quality
Wi-Fi, wherever users are located.
“Quantenna is very excited to expand its presence in the mesh
repeater market with our QSR10R-AX chipset,” said Lionel Bonnot,
Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at
Quantenna. “With the continuing increase of the number of clients
and Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the home, mesh networks
must work flawlessly to ensure a truly reliable and
high-performance network. We believe the QSR10R-AX is the ideal
solution to fulfill this demand.”
“With the proliferation of device and usage, every location,
including the home, is becoming a high-density environment. The
802.11ax standard is intended to help maximize airtime capacity to
handle more devices at the same time. Quantenna is adapting the
latest Wi-Fi innovations of MU-MIMO and OFDMA to improve mesh
topologies and meet the ever growing coverage and capacity needs of
end-users,” said Adlane Fellah, Senior Analyst, at Maravedis.
“The multi-AP market is taking off,” said Adam Hotchkiss,
Co-Founder and Vice President of Product at Plume. “The next
generation whole-home solutions will leverage tri-band chipsets
with 802.11ax radios to further elevate the customer
experience.”
“We are extremely focused on providing the best in-home coverage
for our customers,” said David Viret-Lange, CEO, SoftAtHome. "We
are looking forward to combining SoftAtHome's Smart Wi-Fi solution
with Quantenna's QSR10R-AX chipset to offer the highest performance
and smartest Wi-Fi repeater for the ultimate home Wi-Fi
experience."
