Q3. What is Pharos MAXtream? Pharos MAXtream is a proprietary protocol developed on the basis of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) by TP-LINK. The MAXtream technology has the following advantages: • Eliminates hidden node collisions & improves channel efficiency. • Lower latency, higher throughput, larger network capacity & more stability. • Improves the QoS for video, voice and sound data stream. By dividing the timing of transmission into different time slots, MAXtream allows the Pharos devices to transmit in rapid succession, one after another, each using its own time slot to transmit and receive their own frames, which greatly reduces the chance of collision. Pharos MAXtream is a non-standard Wi-Fi protocol that is only compatible with TP-LINK's Pharos series products. Please notice that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi devices to an AP with MAXtream enabled. Q4. How can I use Spectrum Analysis to find the appropriate channel for the devices? 1.
