Seamless Transitions for VoIP on Wi-Fi

Imagine if wireless devices could move seamlessly between Wi-Fi connection points without a hiccup? It might seem like a dream, but a new standard just developed and approved by IEEE could make it possible.
Oh, wouldn’t that be great?
The original standard was only intended to be used with a single access point. It’s about four years in the making and is expected to mostly be used in VoIP applications.
According to PC Pro:
Current Wi-Fi equipment can take several seconds to complete the handover from one access point to another, resulting in dropped phone calls.
The new standard will complete the process in just 50ms, by establishing a security and quality of service state with the new access point before handover.
