Ondrej Holzman Enye yezindaba ezinkulu ku-WWDC yethule iMacBook Air ubukhona bezinga elisha lokuxhuma okungenantambo - Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Isebenzisa ibhendi engu-2,4GHz kanye ne-5GHz ngesikhathi esifanayo, kodwa kwatholakala ukuthi i-OS X Mountain Lion yamanje ayikuvumeli ukufinyelela izivinini eziphakeme kakhulu.
Ekuhloleni kwakhe iMacBook Air yakamuva engu-13-intshi kulokhu okutholakele abantu abadala Anand Lai Shimpi of AnandTech. Inkinga yesofthiwe ku-OS X Mountain Lion ivimbela isivinini esiphezulu sokudlulisa ifayela kuphrothokholi engu-802.11ac.
Ethuluzini lokuhlola i-iPerf, ijubane lifinyelele ku-533 Mbit/s, kodwa ekusebenziseni kwangempela u-Shimpi ushaye isivinini esikhulu esingu-21,2 MB/s noma esingu-169,6 Mbit/s. Ukushintsha amarutha, ukuvala wonke amadivayisi angenantambo ebangeni, ukuzama izintambo ze-ethernet ezihlukene namanye ama-Mac noma ama-PC akusizanga futhi.
Ekugcineni, uShimpi wanciphisa inkinga waze wafika kuzivumelwano ezimbili zokuxhumana zenethiwekhi—i-Apple Filling Protocol (AFP) kanye ne-Microsoft's Server Message Block (SMB). Ucwaningo olwengeziwe lwabe selubonisa ukuthi i-OS X ayikuhlukanisi ukusakazwa kwamabhayithi kumasegimenti anosayizi ofanele, ngakho-ke ukusebenza kwephrothokholi entsha ye-802.11ac kunomkhawulo.
"Izindaba ezimbi ukuthi i-MacBook Air entsha iyakwazi isivinini esimangalisayo sokudlulisa nge-802.11ac, kodwa ngeke uwathole lapho udlulisela amafayela phakathi kwe-Mac ne-PC," kubhala uShimpi. “Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi le nkinga isoftware kuphela. Sengivele ngidlulisele lokho engikutholile ku-Apple futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele kube nokuvuselelwa kwesoftware ukulungisa lolu daba. ”
Iseva iphinde yahlola amandla eMacBook Air entsha Ars Technica, okuthi uyasho, ukuthi lo mshini we-802.11ac osebenzisa i-Windows 8 ku-Boot Camp ufinyelela isivinini sokudlulisa esiphezulu kakhulu kunesistimu yokusebenza ye-Apple. Ukuthi iMicrosoft inezivinini zokudlulisa ezishesha kancane ngeke kumangaze uma kugxilwa kumkhakha webhizinisi, kodwa umehluko mkhulu kakhulu ukuthi ungachazwa ukwenziwa kwenethiwekhi kuphela. Ama-Windows acishe abe ngamaphesenti ayi-10 ngokushesha kune-Gigabit Ethernet, amaphesenti angama-44 ashesha ngaphezu kuka-802.11na, ngisho namaphesenti angu-118 ngokushesha ngaphezu kuka-802.11ac.
Kodwa-ke, lo ngumkhiqizo wokuqala we-Apple onephrothokholi entsha engenantambo, ngakho-ke singalindela ukulungiswa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkinga iphinde yavela ku-Developer Preview ye-OS X Mavericks entsha, okusho ukuthi ukukhawulelwa kwesivinini ku-OS X Mountain Lion akuyona inhloso.
