802.11ac Wave 2 Market Drivers, Technology Growth and Opportunities 2016-2026

The promising features of 802.11ac Wave 2 standard is expected to create potential opportunities in the Wi-Fi space. While it will take some time for this second wave of products to prove their true potential, for sure the benefits will be tangible. Various organizations are paying close attention to the potential value and impact of the products supporting 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, and are expected to consider Wave 2 in their future technology plans.

One major challenge in the adoption of wave 2 standard is the fact that many existing Wi-Fi clients lack forward compatibility with the new wave 2 features. Just like most new technologies, it will take some time for adoption of wave 2 standard to ramp up and for wave 2-enabled hardware to be released.

Wi-Fi technology has undergone an incredible degree of transformation since its standardization as the 802.11 standard. 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard has been introduced in the commercial market in two distinct phases, dubbed Wave1 and Wave 2, both offering a significant performance increase from its predecessor standards.

With supporting over 60 client devices and 25 routers, the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard is quickly cementing its footprint in the commercial market and is expected to become the highest shipping Wi-Fi standard in coming years.

The Wi-Fi Alliance, a global nonprofit association of companies that determine the interoperability of Wi-Fi technology, certified the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard in 2015. Wave 2 standard is built upon Wave 1 with some significant enhancements including support to speeds upto 2.34 Gbps in the 5 GHz band, support to multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) and greater performance with option of using 160-MHz-wide channels and a fourth spatial stream.

Market Dynamics:

Major factors driving the growth of global 802.11ac Wave 2 market include high growth in mobile video usage & VoIP services, continued shift to end-user mobility, increasing volumes of Wi-Fi-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and demand for high-speed delivery of large files and data access and movement.

Wave 2 standard offers greater density of connected devices than wave 1 as it supports multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO). This enables efficient utilization of spectrum is for multiple connected devices providing consumers with options to easily get their devices on and off of the network. Other software improvements in MU-MIMO include ability to group/schedule the type of traffic for each device, dynamic adaptation of modulation & coding, and sounding rate control.

Additionally, the market growth is further propelled by the trend to employ multiple connected devices per user and traction towards “all wireless office” user experience is expected to witness potential growth opportunities during the forecast period.
