IEEE Changes compared to As of October , high-end implementations support 80 MHz channels, three spatial streams, and QAM, yielding a data rate of up to This frequency band has significantly different propagation characteristics than the 2. Products implementing the The peak transmission rate of It uses cognitive radio technology to transmit on unused TV channels, with the standard taking measures to limit interference for primary users, such as analog TV, digital TV, and wireless microphones.
Access points and stations determine their position using a satellite positioning system such as GPS , and use the Internet to query a geolocation database GDB provided by a regional regulatory agency to discover what frequency channels are available for use at a given time and position. The physical layer uses OFDM and is based on The propagation path loss as well as the attenuation by materials such as brick and concrete is lower in the UHF and VHF bands than in the 2.
The frequency channels are 6 to 8 MHz wide, depending on the regulatory domain. Up to four channels may be bonded in either one or two contiguous blocks. The achievable data rate per spatial stream is With four spatial streams and four bonded channels, the maximum data rate is Due to the favorable propagation characteristics of the low frequency spectra, The protocol intends consumption to be competitive with low power Bluetooth , at a much wider range.
This extends some of the mechanisms in Currently in development, this project has the goal of providing 4x the throughput of It is an amendment that defines a new physical layer for It will be an extension of the existing 11ad, aimed to extend the throughput, range and use-cases.
The main use-cases include: indoor operation, out-door back-haul and short range communications. The main extensions include: channel bonding 2, 3 and 4 , MIMO and higher modulation schemes. In addition, existing MAC and PHY functions have been enhanced and obsolete features were removed or marked for removal. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile.

Over the past twenty years the Internet has developed at a rapid rate and thanks to the introduction of Wi-Fi, 3G, fibre optic and coming soon G. But how did it all start and who was behind creating the Internet? The Internet mainly works using a method called packet switching. Packet switching is where data is broken down into small chunks at its source, then restored at its destination.
Any packets lost along the way can be retransmitted without having to download the whole file again. Various different internets began to connect up over time, forming the Internet we know today. Back when computers took up a whole room, scientists were looking at new ways to make them process more information at faster speeds. In the s, this four-way connection was the first Internet connection in the world.
Scientists in many other countries developed their own in the following years, but communication between the different networks was difficult, as each connection used its own language to send and receive data. Berners-Lee invented the first web browser, server, and website — his idea was based on the concept of embedding links to other pages hyperlinks in the HTML of the webpage itself. For many years, the Internet was mainly used by government groups and scientists, but in , commercial Internet access started to be sold to consumers.
The first version of the Internet available for commercial use was dial-up. Speed was a significant issue in the early days. By , the best connection users could hope for was 56Kbps. Broadband first started to replace dial-up in the early s, with half of all Internet users having a broadband connection by Wireless Internet started rolling out commercially to the public in , with the release of the Apple Airport, closely followed by the release of a Windows-focused Wi-Fi router in These devices quickly became the norm, replacing Ethernet cables that had to be physically plugged into a computer to work.
Wireless Internet hotspots were soon introduced at many businesses, such as coffee shops, retail stores, and offices. Wireless Internet hotspots offer the public access to the Internet, often for free, and operate using a wireless local area network WLAN connected to a router.
When smartphones were initially released, early adopters had to make do with a sluggish 9. This third generation of mobile Internet could reach speeds of up to Kbps, transforming the way we use smartphones forever.
Cable broadband was introduced after ADSL broadband, offering potentially faster Internet speeds by operating over cable television wires, rather than a phone line.
Cable Internet speeds can fluctuate and are limited by the bandwidth allowed by the cable wire. Speed and efficiency have remained at the forefront of the development of the Internet, with superfast fibre broadband emerging as the next evolution of connectivity. Fibre optic broadband delivers much faster speeds because it uses fibre optic cables, instead of copper wire.
Fibre optic cables are made of thin strands of glass that allow laser light to travel down them which improves the speed that data can be sent and received. The Internet of Things IoT is the connection of everyday items to the Internet, allowing them to be operated digitally.
The IoT is intended to improve the efficiency of day-to-day life, allowing users to control household functions using a smartphone or mobile device.
Fast is the next generation of fibre broadband and is capable of speeds over Mbps — significantly quicker than broadband. Unlike a full fibre optic connection, G. Fast uses existing copper wires and improves speeds by expanding the frequency range used by the broadband signal.
Fast has been introduced in many areas throughout the UK, including Kent and Cambridgeshire, with the service expected to be available to over 10 million properties by late You can see our full residential terms and conditions here. Other prices, content and terms may also change during your contract. See our CPI Plus 3. Line rental is included in all our broadband packages.
The standard line rental price, or where applicable the discounted line rental price, is included in the package price. For new Plusnet customers that sign up for 12 or 18 months as appropriate.
Line rental is included in the price line only, no calls included. Outside of your 14 day cancellation period, if you choose to end your service within the minimum period, you will have to pay an early termination charge. The date your broadband and line rental activates, or where your services do not activate at the same time, the service that activates first, will be used as your monthly billing date.
If your broadband or line rental service are not activated at the same time, for the service that is activated at a later date, charges will be pro rated for the first month and any applicable discounts for that service will apply once the service starts. Subject to availability and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. No cash alternative. Exclusions and terms apply. For new Plusnet customers that sign up for a day rolling contract.
You may terminate your services at any time without having to pay an early termination charge. Outside your 14 day cancellation period, you'll have to give at least 14 days' notice. Please see our price guide , log into your account in the Member Centre or call us on to discuss your contract.
