IEEE 802.11ac
IEEE 802.11ac is a wireless standard currently under development which will provide high throughput Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) near 6 Ghz capacities.

Theoretically, this specification will support WLAN speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (1 Gbps).

According to a study, devices with the 802.11ac specification are expected to become common by 2015 with an estimated 1 billion spread around the world.

As of February 2011, there are no consumer devices carrying a draft of this specification.
