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 stream using its
own time slot to transmit and receive 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 note that you will not be able to connect other Wi-Fi
devices to an AP with MAXtream enabled.
