Any update on Quantenna products?

MU-MIMO does require support on both ends of the link because it uses a more complex form of beamforming.

But MU-MIMO enabled routers can handle clients that do and don't support MU-MIMO. You just don't get the advantage of MU-MIMO with clients that don't support it.

I will have more details on both MU-MIMO and Broadcom xStream soon. I am out in the Valley this week doing research. I'll just say for now I am much less skeptical of AC3200's benefit.

It would be interesting if you could talk about how the manufacturers do their testing. What tools and techniques look good or not-so-good to you? What new features will you be looking forward to trying out?

It is way too early for MU-MIMO testing. Products just are not ready.

Both MU-MIMO and Broadcom's XStream architecture will require some level of multi-client testing. That's about all I can say for now.
