The company’s 802.11n WiFi chipsets are in trials with over 12 service providers worldwide, for broadband digital video services that require robust performance anywhere in the home.
“Quantenna’s 4×4 devices feature the full complement of carrier-grade, industry-standard 802.11n features that are necessary for distributing multiple video streams throughout the home at full, 1080p resolution,” said David French, Quantenna’s CEO, in a statement.
