FEATURED WEBCAST:
Wireless Standards: What's New with 802.11n and Beyond
Industry expert Craig Mathias of Farpoint Group, a huge proponent
of 802.11n and a long-standing member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, was kind enough
to be the guest speaker for our June 19, 2007 webcast on the technology.
Here is some of what he covered:
- Predicts IEEE 802.11 a/b/g WiFi products will be phased out by 2009
- All major WLAN chip vendors are producing .11n chipsets today
- "Real" products should be available the second half of this year (2007)
- 802.11n will largely operate in the 5 GHz range
- Higher throughput means more wireless voice, location, and video
- Security settings will remain unchanged
- Controller-based architectures may be impacted by significantly higher data rates
