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.

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.
