Kumu Networks (http://kumunetworks.com) have come up with a design to do Wi-Fi with full duplex.

YouTube video that describes this technology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GFCSMyLhfA

It appears that simultaneous transmission is possible, even in Wi-Fi. The term used is "self-interference cancellation technologies".

Is this going to dramatically change Wi-Fi? Will vendors adopt this readily?

Thoughts and comments?

Looks like this news broke in October 2013.

Here's more on the technology of wireless full duplex by Kumu Networks:

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
