Other scenarios being addressed include seamless roaming, meaning the transition from one access point to another. The goal is to ensure next to no downtime when moving between access points.

Doesn't that already exist?

As I understand it, the tech exists, but the standard doesn't?

I think the standard exists, but is optional. So if WiFi 8 makes it mandatory, there’s no more goofy non-implementation or partial implementations and everyone (and every manufacturer/system) can expect the same behavior.
