- [Presenter] Earlier we talked about having a wireless channel consume a 20 megahertz frequency range. And one thing we can do to allow us to send more information for more wireless devices is to increase the width of that channel by combining adjacent channels. If we combine two adjacent channels, that's going to give us a 40 megahertz channel width. And that's possible with 802.11n, as an example. And with 802.11ac and .11ax, we can go even further. We can combine four 20 megahertz channels to give us a single channel with an 80 megahertz channel width. We could even combine eight channels to give us a 160 megahertz channel width. That's another way to increase overall throughput. We're increasing the throughput by increasing the frequency range that can be used by a single channel.
