a report from IMS Research, the first products based on the standard wireless network 802.11ac, expected later this year, will receive a warm welcome. IMS estimates that during 2012 this year alone, more than 3 million products 802.11ac will be marketed, including routers and laptops compatible with the upcoming wireless standard. "It's a very positive start," said Filomena Berardi, senior analyst at IMS markets.
Retailers should offer the first products compatible with standard Wireless 802.11ac by the end of the year. "At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas last week, we have seen Chipset 802.11ac and routers, and it will not take long to find in the market for laptops equipped with 802.11ac standard. They will be even faster in the majority, "said the analyst. According to IMS, the technology will spread rapidly and lead the firm in 2016, more than 400 million devices displaying the standard will be delivered. "The gigabit wireless at full speed ahead," said IMS.
Higher transfers to Gigabit in theory of course
The standard 802.11ac offer higher transfer rates (up to 1.3 Gigabit / s in theory) than those permitted by the 802.11n standard, including through the use of a wider spectrum and technology to more advanced antenna. But access to these performances will cost. "Businesses will acquire new routers and new customers WiFi access points, as the existing circuits can not be upgraded to handle the standard 802.11ac," according to Aruba Networks. That does not stop to think that technology will still be very successful.
However, all products will not benefit from the new standard when it becomes available. "The first 802.11ac smartphones will not arrive before 2014, mainly due to the potential increase in costs that might induce and also for design issues," said IMS. However, smartphones and other routers customers will still be able to access WiFi networks 802.11n, since most access points will be able to handle both standards at the same time, the band that uses 802.11n frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11ac that.
Despite unfavorable economic conditions, companies spend more money in WiFi networks. The overall industry revenue increased by over 20% during the third quarter, compared to the same period last year. According to market research conducted by the firm Dell'Oro Group, this increase is largely due to a 40% increase in sales for the company.
