Focus on 802.11n Wireless Technology
Draft 802.11n and 802.11n ExplainedThe next generation wireless standard Draft N (Draft 1.0 IEEE 80.11n) delivers total performance and coverage, thereby surpassing all previous wireless standards. Draft N was approved in January 2006 and is set to be finalised early 2007. The draft standard delivers data transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps, whereas the final standard will increase to 600 Mbps.
Why do we need wireless standards?Standards make equipment from different manufacturers compatible with one another. This has been increasingly important with the rapid development of new technologies. This offers incredible flexibility to you as the user since you can enjoy the freedom of choosing different products whilst being assured that products based on the same standard will work together, even if they are not from the same manufacturer.
Why are �Draft� standards used?Better, faster, wider. Wireless technology innovations need to be planned to the finest detail by engineers and approved by the official bodies. This takes a long time which is why in the first instance, �Draft� standards are agreed on, allowing all manufacturers to start with development. Why wait when you can enjoy the future today?
Compatibility of Draft N � Why should you invest?All of the Draft N products are backwards compatible with all wireless standards: 802.11g as well as 802.11b, thus ensuring total interoperability.
Compatibility with the finalised IEEE802.11n standard in 2007:Draft 802.11n is an innovative technology which guarantees faster data transfer rates, total coverage, performance and security � Now!. No manufacturer is in the position today to guarantee total interoperability with the finalised standard expected in 2007. However, the probability is extremely high and no matter what, the performance boost Draft N will give you now, will remain in any case.
