Colombia. Linksys introduced its Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi (EA7500) Router, which uses 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, which helps ensure continuous Wi-Fi connectivity for multiple home devices and works as if they have their own dedicated router.
With MU-MIMO, you can enjoy throughout the house streaming 4K and high-definition television to multiple devices as well as play video games, listen to music, check email, make online purchases and much more, all at the same time.
Ideal for families where members have their own devices, the Max-Stream AC1900 leverages MU-MIMO functionality, which helps make Wi-Fi networks more efficient when streaming 4K broadband to multiple devices at the same time. Market research firm DisplayResearch/IHS recently reported that shipments of 4K Ultra HD TVs reached 6 million units in North America in 2015 and are projected to double to 12 million in 2016.
"If you already have a 4K TV, or plan to purchase one, you'll need a Max-Stream router to make sure you have a seamless online 4K streaming experience," said Justin Deucette, director of product management at Linksys. "A single stream of 4K content requires at least 20 Mbps to maintain a consistent stream and when you combine that with multiple streams plus the normal use of Wi-Fi for gaming, surfing the internet, IoT connectivity and listening to music, the demand for bandwidth increases. Max-Stream will allow multiple Wi-Fi streams to occur so users can have the ultimate 4K and connection experience."
The Next-Gen Max-Stream AC1900 router can offer users combined speeds of up to 1.9 Gbps* and the range they need to connect all their devices at home at the same time. It also includes Smart Wi-Fi technology that makes it easy to set up and control your home Wi-Fi network using the Smart Wi-Fi app on your mobile device.
The Linksys AC1900 MU-MIMO router will help solve the buffer load issues customers are having today and in the future with 4K content. Watch the mu-MIMO video on the Linksys product page here.
