Imagine living in a world where smartphones and computers do not exist. People depend on these technologies and without them they would not be able to work efficiently. But what use would smartphones and computers be if there was no Internet? The Internet is the most imperative, fundamental and ingenious invention known to the modern world. Technology has made it possible for people to connect to the network wirelessly. This growing trend of wireless local area networks, WLAN, is continually evolving with the development of new WLAN standards. The WLAN standard has evolved from the first WLAN standard 802.11 to the latest generation of Wi-Fi signaling, 802.11ac. The standard has changed as new technology has enabled improvements in things like higher bandwidth, reduced interference, and overall better performance. The development and implementation of 802.11ac has had a dramatic impact on the end-user experience. 802.11ac could be beneficial for healthcare and education businesses, as well as home and business use. The fifth generation of the WLAN standard, 802.11ac “Gigabit Wi-Fi standard”, significantly improved the more popular 802.11n. 802.11ac is the new standard for wireless local area networks. Wireless networking has proven to become a vital element in businesses and homes. Wireless LANs have exemplified their advantage in mobility, productivity, convenience, and deployment over wired LANs. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, continually expanded the original 802.11 as the popularity of wireless LANs grew. The new standard for WLAN, 802.11ac, comes from a history of standards dating back to 1997. The benefits of wireless LAN have continually propagated as a new standard… Fi.Wireless local area networks are everywhere around us. Businesses need WLAN to function, universities need Wi-Fi to provide students with the media they need, and hospitals need a reliable network for critical patient operations. The next generation of WLAN standards, 802.11ac, would allow all businesses to meet their needs. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers constantly expanded the possibilities that 802.11 could offer. The 802.11ad standard will eventually be implemented to complement 802.11ac. Engineers continue to develop and create new standards to make businesses more efficient, support healthcare services, and seamlessly deliver multimedia content to educational institutions. There are no limits to how the 802.11 standard could grow and continue to improve to adapt to the fast-paced society we live in today.
