802.11ac adoption is happening faster than any Wi-Fi generation in history, comprising as much as 50% of the enterprise APs sold last year.  So what comes next?  The IEEE is hard at work on 802.11ax which will start shipping in volume in just three years.  802.11ax will introduce huge changes including OFDMA with narrow channels, uplink MU-MIMO, spatial reuse via BSS coloring and possibly 1024-QAM. Chuck will preview the key technologies in the new standard and snapshot the current state of progress.
