The ongoing evolution of Wi-Fi continues to explore higher speeds, but network manageability and Wi-Fi user experience are also becoming more important.
This is partly a factor of how dependent users are on Wi-Fi, both in the enterprise and the home. Last year, 60% of mobile data traffic was offloaded onto the fixed network via Wi-Fi or femtocells – about 10.7 exabytes per month, according to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index. Cisco predicts that by 2021, 50% of all IP traffic will be Wi-Fi (30% will be carried by fixed networks and 20% via cellular networks).
