Gigabit WiFi Next? (802.11 VHT)

Published on 09/ 2/2008

Who cares if the WiFi-N specs is still a draft? "N" Devices are all over the place, so it's a done deal at this point. Now, engineers are looking at Gigabit Wi-Fi (1000Mbps), which would match the fastest wired networking speed that consumers and can get on a desktop PC. VHT stands for Very High Throughput and would call for traffic to top 1Gb/sec at a *minimum*, which means that theoretical speeds would be even higher. Looking back at previous generations, it is safe to say that it will take many years for WiFi VHT to become a prototype. More details at extremetech. WiFi Alliance site
