WiFi 802.11ac

The Aspire Switch 12 S comes with the 802.11ac technology. It lets you experience wireless performance up to 3 times faster than the previous version. It also delivers expanded range so you can work more freely than ever. A new technology called “Beam Forming” allows 802.11ac to focus Wi-Fi signals where they are needed, rather than broadcasting all signals in a 360-degree pattern.

When signals are broadcast in all directions, the result is a weaker and slower connection. Beam Forming is a “Smart” way of sending ac > 3x 1000 Mbps and receiving Wi-Fi signals based on where they are needed. Of 11 n For example, if your router is downstairs and your device is located in a bedroom upstairs, rather than broadcast signals in all n 300 Mbps directions at the same power (including to your neighbors), Beam Forming technology focuses signals toward your bedroom thereby improving your speed and connection.
