The Wi-Fi Alliance has played an important role in the release of the 802.11 family of protocols and is now working hard to improve the stability of Wi-Fi in today's world. At the CES 2018 in Las Vegas, they officially released the 802.11ax protocol, This means Wi-Fi will be less likely to go wrong in the future and will perform better when connected to smart appliances such as PCs, TVs, cell phones, tablets, doorbells, cars and washing machines.
Kevin Robinson, vice president of the Wi-Fi Alliance, said that average home ownership of smart appliances over Wi-Fi connections in the United States has exceeded eight, so later standards like 802.11ax will focus more on the stability of the connection. 802.11ac standard has been able to distribute network load between different devices, 802.11ax continues this feature, Robinson said the first chip will be listed this year, a large area distribution will have to wait until 2019.
Although 802.11ax is focused on stability, the peak speed is also rising - from 433Mbps in 802.11ac to 600Mbps.
HIS, a data analytics company, predicts that 802.11ax-enabled devices will rise from 116,000 units in 2019 to 58 million units in 2021. At CES, the Wi-Fi Alliance's showroom is not large, but given the presence of 800 Businesses are using their agreement, Robinson said 'in a sense, the entire CES is our showroom'.
