How Much Can sMART-2 Smart Antenna Improve the Performance of 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 and 6E AP’s?

 

In another article and service page, we introduced our smart antenna solution showing how it can address the issues that, users might encounter with standard Wi-Fi routers, such as poor radio coverage and lack of speed, all eventually causing poor user experience whether at home, in the office or other places.

This is when our smart antenna solution comes into play and helps solving these issues.

LYNwave and Adant jointly developed a smart antenna solution called sMART-2, which is a unique system that provides reliable and fast Wi-Fi at the lowest cost. It automatically adjusts the antenna radiation pattern to achieve whole home coverage, strong interference mitigation, and fastest network. You can learn more key features of our smart antenna solution (sMART-2) in this article and service page.

In this article we shall take a more detailed look at the performance improvement offered by sMart2 to 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 and 6E AP’s.

Radiation Pattern Comparison

smart-2 isotropic coverage

Both sMART-2 and passive antenna solutions have similar peak gain, but sMART-2 achieves truly isotropic coverage by combining different radiation patterns.

Rate vs. Range @ 6GHz

anechoic chamber test

  • Tested in an anechoic chamber
  • CH: 69 – BW 160MHz
  • RX: 2×2 – 6E AP in STA mode
  • Throughput averaged over 36 angles of rotation of the AP

 

Rate vs range 6ghz

Over the Air Test @ 6GHz

  • Throughput reported is the average over 36 angles of rotation of the AP
  • Significant average benefit at low RSSI with 2×2 clients → >80%
  • Good gain at mid-range as well → >10% with 30% peaks

6GHz Coverage: < Set It and Forget It >

  • No holes in coverage with passive antenna holes recovered
  • AP performance is independent from orientation
  • Users don’t need to twist the AP to make it work well

6GHz Multiclient w/ MU-MIMO and OFDMA Activated

  • Throughput reported is the average over 36 angles of rotation of the AP
  • All clients benefit from the smart antenna
  • Significant performance boost for the weakest client
