As mobile usage increases, non-profits like the Wi-Fi Alliance continue to work with manufacturers, creating standards to make the wireless experience seamless and faster for all users.
One example is the new 802.11ac wireless standard, which enables high-speed connectivity, backup and sync for wireless devices.
“802.11ac significantly increases available Wi-Fi bandwidth, improving wireless performance for reliable high-definition (HD) video streaming, alleviating nuisances such as slow loading times and videos pausing in the middle of a scene,” Forbes explains. “802.11ac also allows consumers to transmit multiple HD videos simultaneously without losing the connection.”
NFC is also going to be important to digital households, allowing “two devices to securely communicate wirelessly without the hassle of passwords,” the article states.
Besides enabling mobile devices to connect to Wi-Fi automatically when close, near field communication also “simplifies the pairing of Bluetooth devices such as remote controls, 3D glasses and an array of mobile and audio streaming products,” reports Forbes.
The article also details the new technology, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miramast, which, “uses a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection to deliver audio and video content from one device to another without cables or a connection to an existing network,” so users can easily stream mobile content onto their big screen TVs.
“In the coming years,” Forbes concludes, “the latest and greatest consumer devices will only be as good as the wireless technologies they’re built on and the standards that they support.”
