In-Stat: Faster Wi-Fi Will Grow Rapidly

According to the research company In-stat, the new wi-fi standard for Gigabit speeds - 802.11ac will be quickly adopted over the next four years but it will still be less popular than 802.11n standard.

The 802.11ac is being developed to achieve more than 1G bps (bit per second) of network throughput by expanding on the broad frequency bands and multiple-antenna capabilities of 802.11n, which now represents a majority of Wi-Fi shipments, according to In-Stat analyst Frank Dickson. The top theoretical speed for 11n is about 600M bps, with a high-end configuration, but it typically delivers about 150M bps.

"Many times, the speed of [11]ac will exceed the speed of broadband coming into the home," Dickson said. "In an enterprise location, you may see a whole lot more need."
