>
> > Show / Hide this section  
> > 1575 / 1595 Gateways utilize cutting-edge 802/11ax technology, which introduces several major updates in Wi-Fi components, the most significant of which are OFDMA, WPA3, and BS Color.
> >
> > **Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA)** is a feature of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) that allows access points to serve multiple clients at the same time. OFDMA follows a set of rules created for the transmission of data between more than one terminal (any device at the end of a transmission channel, such as a computer or phone) over a transmission medium (such as a wireless network).
> >
> > In addition, 802.11ax improves overall throughput by approximately 25% compared to 802.11ac.
> >
> > 1535 / 1555 Gateways include enhanced 3x3 WiFi design.
> >
> > 1575 / 1595 Gateways include enhanced 4x4 WiFi design.
> >
> > Wi-Fi Cryptography: supports WPA, WPA2 and WPA3.

> >
> > > 1570 / 1590 Gateways utilize cutting-edge 802.11ac Wave 2 technology, which introduces several major updates in Wi-Fi components. The most significant is a new feature called Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), a radical new technology that supports higher density deployments by servicing multiple endpoint devices concurrently.
> > >
> > > In addition, several channel bonding improvements enhance overall throughput by utilizing wider portions of the 5GHz band, as well as enabling more flexible use of the spectrum. Compared with 802.11ac Wave 1, 802.11ac Wave 2 provides higher user access capabilities, a more flexible bandwidth combination, and a higher throughput.
