802.11n: Beyond the Hype

Overview 802.11n promises dramatic improvements in wireless throughput and range. It will also be the first 802.11 standard that can operate in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. But the road to standardization has been a rocky one, and many questions still remain. Should enterprises deploy pre-standard 802.11n now? Which frequency band should enterprises use? Does 802.11n introduce new security risks? In this report, Senior Analyst Paul DeBeasi will answer these questions and analyze the emerging 802.11n standard.
