Wireless signals are known to turn a nice day of work or a comfortable movie watching session into a dreadful experience. Many of us experienced the frustration when the connection drops during a dramatic scene or a cliffhanger moment. Wireless-ACwas an excellent technology to avert this infuriating event since it provides fast wireless connections. However, innovation never stops: technology advances at a fast pace and it’s time to go one letter down the alphabet. Make room for the new Wireless-AD, a super strong wireless standard that promises to elevate internet connections and change the VPN scene too.
Although its initial impact is still unknown, the new 802.11ad wireless standard will be a state of the art solution when it comes to internet connections. Known specifications include 7,200 Mbps (7 Gbps) and a frequency band of 60 GHz that will allow users to download movies in 4K in only 4 minutes, which is a step towards heaven. More specifications are to be released in early 2017 but we can also count on a bigger capacity as a response to the growing amount of traffic requirements or, in other words, the amount of devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network. There is also good news for the most hardcore security fans since the new Wireless-AD can also increase a connection’s safety, making it harder for eavesdroppers to grab 60 GHz signals.
With this being said, we can surely hope for a big step forward, particularly for VPNs. It is no secret that many users see VPNs as the cape they need to hide some of their online darkest secrets, mainly torrents. With such a fast and strong service, Wireless-AD will increase the speed of both downloads and uploads. You’ll be able to stream sport events in HD by overcoming geo-restrictions with a VPN, and even the crowded network won’t stand in your way. Furthermore, can you imagine extending your protection with a Wireless-AD VPN router? Although this technology will be most likely released at a considerably high price, purchasing and setting up one will mean that you can connect a vast range of devices using some of the strongest signals and enjoy the best content without bandwidth limitations, while also being protected by the highest encryption. Fortunately, as announced by FlashRouters, these will certainly be part of VPN routers in the near future.
For now, all we can do is wait patiently and let the hype dominate our thoughts.
