Next-Gen WiFi Proposal Approved
The IEEE has approved the draft for the 802.11n standard, the next-generation WiFi spec that uses multiple antennas to support speeds up to 600Mbps at greater range than current a/b/g products. It could take as long as a year for the standard to be finalized and fully approved, but chip companies are already announcing products based on it, saying they'll be upgraded to meet the final version.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
