In WiFi Access Points, the efficiency of the underlying technology is important. There have been many standards, but the latest include: 



  • 802.11n -- 64QAM, which includes 6 bits per symbol
  • 802.11ac -- 256QAM, which includes 8 bits per symbol
  • WiFi6 -- 1024QAM, which includes 10 bits per symbol
  • WiFi7 -- 4096QAM, which includes 12 bits per symbol


Alta Access Points support 4096QAM (4k QAM) and can provide the performance of WiFi7 Access Points. Using the latest technologies, Alta can provide the most efficient and reliable performance.
