What is Advanced-N?

Advanced-N is a term used by some companies, especially Intel®, to refer to wireless network devices that use the 802.11n protocols, as agreed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). These protocols have significantly improved transmission speed and the reliability of the previous generation of wireless protocols, such as 802.11g wireless protocols. Adding the term "advanced" simply indicates different levels of wireless devices created by Intel®, similar to using the term "Ultimate-N". Advanced-N uses multiple input antennas (out) with multiple inputs (out) and can work on two different belts, allowing faster transmission speeds and greater connectivity. IEEE 802.11 protocols have been established - and are likely to be used for some time - to ensure the usability between manufacturers and hardware development. Different generations of wireless hardware are usually identified by protocols that are developed to satisfy, and earlierGenerations were marked as 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. The development of the 802.11n protocols has improved significantly on previous generations, and these wireless devices advertised as "Advanced-N" usually use these protocols.

Intel® is one of the primary users of the "Advanced-N" nomenclature and uses it to distinguish different types of hardware that use 802.11n protocols with other features that also increase transmission speeds. The term "Ultimate-N" is also used by Intel® and various products advertised as the use of different types of 802.11n protocols often indicate differences in speed and connectivity. In general, however, the 802.11n protocols have determined the use of out of antenna, which had a huge increase in speed due to increased potential input and signal output. The use of 5 Gigahertz (GHz) and 2.4 GHz belts also provides a larger connection to other wireless devices N.

Some Advanced-N devices are soDesigned with Wimax compatibility, a secondary type of wireless signal used in some devices. Wimax uses microwave signals to send data and devices that are designed with 802.11n and Wimax, can connect to a larger number of wireless networks and devices. The actual transmission speeds for different Advanced-N devices may vary depending on the hardware specifications of each device, so anyone who is interested in such devices should pay attention to details. In general, however, the transfer speed of 802.11n is larger than previous generations and wireless N devices are backward compatible with older wireless generations.
