New standard for WiFi on July 1stedit
Experts says, IEEE standards take three years. The 11ax group has been at it four years so far. That’s longer than today’s 11ac standard took, but still shorter than the complex 11n standard before it. WLAN moved into the giga era in June 2013, when the Wi-Fi Alliance certification of the 802.11ac wireless networking standard came into effect. The ac standard, standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in January 2014, offers throughput speeds of at least 1 Gbps on existing floor-level WLAN.
