IEEE 802.11ay is a standard that is being developed, also called EDMG: Enhanced Directional MultiGigabit PHY. It is an amendment that defines a new [[physical layer]] for 802.11 networks to operate in the 60&nbsp;GHz [[millimeter wave]] spectrum. It will be an extension of the existing 11ad, aimed to extend the throughput, range, and use-cases. The main use-cases include indoor operation and short-range communications due to atmospheric oxygen absorption and inability to penetrate walls. The peak transmission rate of 802.11ay is 40&nbsp;Gbit/s.<ref>{{cite web|title=P802.11ay|url=https://development.standards.ieee.org/get-file/P802.11ay.pdf?t=85389900003|publisher=IEEE|access-date=19 August 2015|page=1|quote=This amendment defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 medium access control layer (MAC) that enables at least one mode of operation capable of supporting a maximum throughput of at least 20 gigabits per second (measured at the MAC data service access point), while maintaining or improving the power efficiency per station.|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161015163345/https://development.standards.ieee.org/get-file/P802.11ay.pdf?t=85389900003|archive-date=15 October 2016}}</ref> The main extensions include: channel bonding (2, 3 and 4), [[MIMO]] (up to 4 streams) and higher modulation schemes.
