Next-Gen Wi-Fi 802.11n Spec Agreed!
Posted: 12th Jan, 2006 By: MarkJ
It would appear as if all of the major players involved in crafting the next generation of Wi-Fi (wireless networking) technology have agreed to a single 802.11n specification:
The upshot? A final 802.11n proposal will now be submitted to the IEEE standards-setting organisation, possibly as early as next week.
There's a caveat, of course. The so-called Joint Proposal (JP) team will spend today and tomorrow meeting to finalise the IEEE submission. There's still a chance that one or more participants may cause the process to stumble, but there certainly appears to be a willingness to drive it forward quickly.
We shall be crossing our fingers for this one to be standardised, thus bringing speeds of up to 540Mbps into the wireless market.
Typically 100Mbps is more realistic and will still take a bit of time before physically reaching the market place. More @ The Register.
