Agreement reached on 802.11n standard
6:05PM, Tuesday 2nd August 2005
Rival developers of next-generation Wi-Fi technologies have put their differences aside and agreed to work together to finalise the 802.11n standard.
TGn Sync, WWiSe and MitMot will combine their proposals to submit to the IEEE later this year.
It is hoped that 802.11n will provide for connections up to 100Mbps, and possibly very much higher, while maintaining support for existing 802.11a, b and g kit.
As the two technologies differed in the extent of their backward compatibility, the merger should be a significant step forward in this respect. It should also bring forward the release date of the first 802.11n products, potentially some time in 2006.
