NEW YORK (CNNMoney) A new, faster version of Wi-Fi was officially rubber-stamped Wednesday.
The latest Wi-Fi technology, called "802.11ac," offers speeds of up to 1.3 Gigabits per second. That's fast enough to transfer an entire high-definition movie to a tablet in under 4 minutes, SHARE photo albums with friends in a matter of seconds or stream three HD VIDEOS at the same time. It's more than DOUBLE the top speed of the previous standard, known as 802.11n.
