• Maximum ratio combining (MRC) for improved receiver performance

• Cyclic delay/shift diversity (CDD/CSD) for improved downlink RF performance

• Space-time block coding (STBC) for increased range and improved reception

•  Low-density parity check (LDPC) for high-efficiency error correction and increased throughput

• Transmit beam-forming (TxBF) for increased signal reliability and range

• 802.11ax Target Wait Time (TWT) to support low-power client devices

• 802.11mc Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) for precision distance ranging

Wi-Fi antennas

• AP-503H: Two integrated semi-directional antennas for 2x2 MIMO with peak single antenna gain of 2.5dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.6dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for vertical wall or desk mounted orientation of the AP.

- Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios, the peak gain of the combined, average pattern is 1.7dBi in 2.4GHz and 5.0dBi in 5GHz.
