802.11g Standard Enters Final Testing
Posted: 26th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
The 802.11g (54Mbps) broadband wireless LAN 'standard' has entered final testing, which should be completed sometime during July 2003. Products are expected to follow shortly afterwards:
Completion of those tests depends on the approval by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) of the 802.11g specification as a standard.
Earlier this month, the IEEE said it expected to finalise the 802.11g standard in June. A Wi-Fi Alliance representative said products using the 802.11g standard with interoperability certification could be on store shelves as early as August.
Products using the 802.11g standard and with interoperability certification should put to rest concern in the industry regarding what level of performance customers will be getting with these new products.
Bare in mind that there are already some 802.11g products available, yet not surprisingly there have been issues with performance and compatibility.
It remains to be seen whether such hang ups will continue into the final specification. More @ ZDNet.
