Last Friday the IEEE 802 Executive Committee approved Working Group 802.11’s request to form an Extreme High Throughput (EHT) Study Group. This means there’s sufficient interest to work toward launching a more-formal EHT standard-development project, which will likely happen after the Study Group’s work is complete.

IEEE 802.11 working on successor to 802.11ax
Monday, July 16th, 2018Concurrent multi-band Wi-Fi floated in IEEE 802.11
Wednesday, May 31st, 2017A proposal for concurrent multi-band Wi-Fi was brought into the most recent meeting of working group IEEE 802.11. Similar to how mobile broadband can use multiple bands at the same time, the proposal would allow a Wi-Fi connection to use the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands simultaneously. Data would be split based on instantaneous channel conditions.
