With the increasing penetration of the IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard across a wide range of electronic devices, increasing the overall availability and quality of compatible wireless access points (APs) is attracting more market attention.

Operating both as signal transmitting and relay stations, wireless APs play a central role when it comes to building out wireless local area network (WLAN) infrastructure. Wi-Fi usage scenarios such as the smart home, modern mobile office, in-vehicle infotainment, or wireless urban spaces all require a solid wireless infrastructure that delivers reliable and high-capacity throughput. The irony is that as wireless technology advances the level of service that consumers expect also rises accordingly.
