IEEE 802.11ac is the fifth generation of Wi-Fi to come along since Wi-Fi was introduced in 1997. The rollout
of new IEEE 802.11ac devices, like those of previous generations, is expected to take between one and three years,
beginning first with home networking products and then working its way to other products as manufacturing costs
decline. By 2015, virtually all new Wi-Fi products are expected to be based on IEEE 802.11ac technology, in the same
way that nearly all Wi-Fi products on sale today are based on IEEE 802.11n, which is the current standard.
