Inside 802.11n Wireless LANs: Practical Insights and Analysis
Overview The IEEE 802.11n Draft Standard specifies a next generation Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology promising nearly twice the reach and far better throughput than 802.11abg legacy devices. The technology is very complex (the draft is over 470 pages long) and has evolved during the standards process with a history of battle lines between contributors. The dust has settled and one is finally seeing real deliverable technology and interoperability. This 16-page white paper takes a brief look at the history behind the process, the convergence to a draft standard, the promise of 802.11n, details on improvements in both transmission speed and protocol efficiency, and several major milestones pushing 802.11n into the enterprise.
