Qualcomm could triple the speed of your Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi speeds in homes, offices, and public networks could triple very soon. Qualcomm, an American tech giant, says seven years of research have yielded MU-MIMO, a new approach that allows wireless routers and access points to faster transmit data to multiple groups of users simultaneously using proprietary algorithms able adapt on the fly. “Using MU-MIMO is like using the carpool lane: the Wi-Fi Highway doesn’t change, but grouping up with other users lets you go much faster while de-congesting the other lanes,” the company told CNN.
