 In theory, this boosts signaling rates to 125 Mb/s. Realistically, one can expect 30-40 Mb/s throughput. Since this is a proprietary protocol extension, effectiveness varies depending on the client device vendor maker as well. In theory, this boosts signaling rates to 125 Mb/s.

 Protected Management Frames provide security for unicast and multicast management action frames. PMF prevents unicast management action frames from eavesdropping and forging data. It also prevents forged multicast management action frames. PMF augments existing privacy protections for data frames with mechanisms that improve the resilience of mission-critical networks. Protected Management Frames provide security for unicast and multicast management action frames.
