Since the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced and certified 802.11n, Wi-Fi has become widely recognized as the primary edge connection for organizations world-wide. A 2007 Burton Group report entitled “The end of Ethernet” accurately predicted Wi-Fi taking over from wired Ethernet as the de-facto standard in modern networks.
Today we see 802.11n as the standard interface on PCs, tablets, smartphones and other networked devices. This proliferation of Wi-Fi interfaces means more mobile devices and their associated data (including HD video) find themselves on corporate networks, while the capacity and data rates enabled by 802.11n may at times seem barely adequate to support this trend.
Fortunately the IEEE 802.11 working group and the Wi-Fi Alliance have already begun working on the successor to 802.11n – 802.11ac.
Expected to achieve final IEEE ratification at the end of 2013, 802.11ac provides enhancements to the techniques pioneered in 802.11n to deliver greater reliability and higher throughput in the 5-Ghz band; more antennas, wider channels, more spatial streams and a number of new features to increase throughput, capacity and reliability.
