802.11N |
IEEE 802.11n is a proposed amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 wireless networking standard to significantly improve network throughput over previous standards, such as 802.11b and 802.11g, with many experts claiming that this wireless technology's potential 248 Mbit/s data rate will finally allow consumers to move beyond traditional wired ethernet LANs.[1]

Additional Comments |
Work on the 802.11n standard dates back to 2004. The draft is expected to be finalized in March 2009 with publication in December 2009,[1] but major manufacturers are now releasing 'pre-N', 'draft n' or 'MIMO-based' products based on early specs. These vendors anticipate the final version will not be significantly different from the draft, and in a bid to get the early mover advantage, are pushing ahead with the technology. Depending on the manufacturer, a firmware update may eventually be able to make current "Draft-N" hardware compatible with the final version.
