11 What Does This All Mean? There are several interesting consequences and conclusions to be drawn: 1. IEEE 802.11ax, the emerging new Wi-Fi standard, will first appear in distributed Wi-Fi systems, as this is the first place for traffic aggregation and would benefit from higher data rates the most. 2. IEEE 802.11ax for end nodes will stay more of a marketing game for a while, because the infrastructure to support the higher data rates will not be there. 3. It looks like for end nodes IEEE 802.11ac will be the right choice for quite some time, avoiding the .11ax complexity and relatively small benefit. Even for lower performing end nodes, 802.11n will be a good solution for a while. 4. We need a successor for IEEE 802.11ax for increasing the bandwidth of the indoor distributed Wi-Fi infrastructure. 15-25Gbps would be a good target. The goal should be to make 60GHz IEEE 802.11ad relevant; maybe by defining that role for IEEE 802.11ay. 5. The near future for IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay still looks quite bleak. Longer term, if the infrastructure is in place, then these standards will become relevant. 6. The DOCSIS 3.1 Full-Duplex local loop coming to our homes providing higher speed access will make tremendous improvements to what at this moment is the real bottleneck. 7. Finally, there are opportunities to solve the problem in a smarter way than brute force raw data rates. An edge router functionality between the cloud and the end nodes can take away the pressure from the on-ramps and off-ramps of the Internet highway. The best for Wi-Fi is yet to come, but it is important to look at the broader context to understand the relevance and the timing of all its new varieties. Qorvo Wi-Fi Front End Modules (FEMs) provide an integrated front-end solution for Wi-Fi applications. These Wi-Fi FEMs operate at a frequency range of 2.4GHz to 5.85GHz. The Wi-Fi FEMs includes primary functions like Power Amplifier (PA), Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), switch solutions, filters, power- management, and device matching. These Wi-Fi FEMs feature high efficiency, low power consumption, and high linearity for maximum modulation. Typical applications include mobile handsets, access points and routers, service provider gateways, media solutions, and computing. Qorvo Wi-Fi Front End Modules
