A company by the name of Quantenna is hoping to help you bring speedier Wi-Fi to those pesky areas of your home where the network just won't reach (like that far corner of the dungeon you've hidden under the stairwell). The startup, flush with $27 million in VC cash, aims to create chipsets for routers and small, inexpensive in-home repeaters that can amplify the range of existing Wi-Fi networks. The chips obviously operate in the 2.4 or 5 Ghz bands, comply with the 802.11N spec, and include MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antenna technology. Using 4x4 MIMO, mesh technologies and beam forming, the company claims they can offer aggregate throughput of up to a Gbit/second. Those dark corners of your Wi-Fi network will never be the same.
