New IEEE 802.11ac Specification Approved Due to the Need for Higher, Multi-User Throughput in Wireless LANs
IEEE has approved the IEEE 802.11acTM-20131 specification to achieve higher multi-user throughput in wireless local area networks (WLANs). This new revision intends to improve WLAN user experience more than 10 times the speed compared to the previous version, with data rates up to 7 Gbps in the 5 GHz band.
