It\u2019s amazing how pervasive WiFi has become. These days, it\u2019s hard to imagine life without it. The internet is everywhere.

It\u2019s always on, and you\u2019re always connected.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, as speeds have improved and bandwidth has increased, so too have the demands we place on it, which has led to a kind of internet cold war. The faster it gets, the more we find to do with it, which strains the limits of currently available speeds, which increase again, and \u2018round and \u2018round it goes.<\/p>\n
Next year, though, is going to be huge for WiFi. The WiFi Alliance has just announced WiGig, which promises speeds up to three times greater than even the best speeds you get out of WiFi connections today.<\/p>\n
Manufacturers are already expressing an interest in the new certification program, and as of right now, you can get consumer products that carry it. In fact, if you have a Dell Latitude 7450 or 7470, you\u2019ve already got it.<\/p>\n
The drawback, of course, is that in order to realize the best speeds the new technology makes available, both ends of the connection have to support WiGig. At present, there aren\u2019t any routers that do, although that\u2019s coming late this year and early next.<\/p>\n
The new standard is expected to really hit stride by mid 2017, when we\u2019ll start seeing WiFi speeds of up to 1GB per second, from a distance of up to 33 feet. At speeds like that, you\u2019ll be able to download your favorite movie in full HD glory in a matter of just seconds, and that\u2019s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.<\/p>\n
This is great news, and a sign of things to come. You can bet that once the new standard has been widely adopted, it\u2019s going to open up whole new frontiers of use. Among other things, you can expect to see VR technologies benefit greatly from the new speeds, and there\u2019s little doubt that it will be a boon to your business, no matter what business you\u2019re in. Where WiFi is concerned, faster is always better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
