Quantenna logoQuantenna says it is working on a 10 Gbps wireless chipset.

The chipset is said to use a "novel architecture enabling MIMO configurations up to an unprecedented 8×8" and "universal support" for Multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) clients.

The company expects to have the 8×8 chipset available in 2015.

ASUS is reportedly using Quantenna’s 4×4 802.11ac chipset in its RT-AC87U AC2300 class router due out later this year.

ABI Research says that by 2011, over 45 million gateways will offer wired-based distribution of data, voice, and video. (The quadruple play, by the way, adds mobile voice.)
