802.11n Takes A Big Step Toward Reality

Posted Jan 12th 2006 8:27PM by Michael Sciannamea

Supporters of the 802.11n WiFi standard which, according to them, will "breathe new life" into the wireless networking technology, got some good news this week when the Enhanced Wireless Consortium passed a joint proposal by a 40-0 vote. Their proposal will now go in front of the IEEE at its meeting next week.

It is believed that 802.11n WiFi is estimated to be nearly five times faster than 802.11g, and up to 50 times faster than 802.11b. It would make sense that those municipalities looking to deploy a citywide wireless network pay particular attention to this development, although the standard won't be ratified until (most likely) the end of this year.

1. Hi,

If you want to run a good professional or for free hotspot AmazingPorts provide a free of charge software that allow you to charge for or give access away for free. It also manages QoS and other important aspects of WiFi networking for example you might want to give away simple slow access for free - but charge for more broad band and higher QoS.

The solution easily installs on any standard PC with two network adapters
