The Future of WIFI – Gigabit Speeds and Beyond

In a few years, crossing the 1Gbps threshold with a WiFi access point will be routine. Chances are that these access points will likely have two radios, one for each major spectrum band, and support a host of older flavors for compatibility. Eventually, WiFi will approach the robustness and speed needed to make it a [...]
