IEEE Debate & Decide on 802.11n Standard
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 04:00 AM
"The IEEE working group dedicated to the next-generation 802.11n standard has settled on a single proposal, TGn Sync, members said late Thursday night. . . . The 802.11n technology is designed to replace the current crop of 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g standards, with data rates in the neighborhood of 100 Mbits per second; the TGn Sync camp believes that they can achieve 315 Mbits/s or even 630-Mbits/s with even more advanced systems."
A widely agreed and adopted standard, now there's a thing. ;-) The TGn standard was backed by Intel, Sony and Toshiba et al., while the defeated WWiSE standard was backed by Nokia and Motorola etc. The 802.11n standard should be backwardly compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g, so your existing gear should work with the new kit (albeit at a lower speed). High speed, secure wireless networks. Don't you just love em? :mrgreen:
