The IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee maintains and governs the IEEE 802 specification(s). The original 802.11 goal was to provide a link layer protocol for wireless networking. This evolved from the 802.11 base specification to 802.11ac in 2013. Since then, the working group has focused on other areas, as the following chart illustrates. Specific 802.11 variants have been examined for use cases and segments such as low power/low bandwidth IoT interconnect (802.11ah), vehicle-to-vehicle communication (802.11p), reuse of television analog RF space (802.11af), extreme bandwidth near meter communication for audio/video (802.11ad), and of course the follow-on to the 802.11ac standard (802.11ax).
