SU-MIMO VS MU-MIMO

SU-MIMO

SU-MIMO was an optional technology that came along with 802.11n standards. Single User MIMO operates multiple streams of data must be sent or received between just one device at a time. This technology requires both the transmitting and receiving Wi-Fi radios support the MIMO technology, along with having multiple antennas.


MU-MIMO

While MU-MIMO only became available on wave 2 of 802.11ac standards. This technology enables Wi-Fi to simultaneously transmit those multiple streams to different Wi-Fi devices, instead of just one single device when compared to the older version (SU-MIMO). Another benefit to 'MU' is the Wi-Fi devices receiving one of the MIMO data streams doesn't have to have multiple antennas therefore even devices with single antenna will support this. However, the receiving Wi-Fi devices must support the MU-MIMO technology.

WIFI (2.4GHz vs 5GHz)

2.4GHz WIFI

Advantages :

  • Low signal frequency
  • Good penetration
  • Long transmission distance


Disadvantages :

  • A lot of interference
  • Not stable


5GHz WIFI

Advantages :

  • Less interference
  • Net speed stability
  • Support for higher wireless rates


Disadvantages :

  • Poor penetration
  • Short transmission distance
