IEEE supports next-gen Wi-Fi proposal

IEEE supports next-gen Wi-Fi proposal

As expected, an IEEE task force unanimously voted in favor of the 802.11n draft standard offered by a joint-proposal team led by the Enhanced Wireless
  • Written by Urgent Communications Administrator
  • 1st February 2006

As expected, an IEEE task force unanimously voted in favor of the 802.11n draft standard offered by a joint-proposal team led by the Enhanced Wireless Consortium.

Although the 802.11n draft probably will not be ratified as a standard for about a year, industry observers have said they expect products based on the draft version of the standard to appear on the market this summer.

The 802.11n standard is expected to generate maximum data throughputs of 600 Mb/s, making it possible to wirelessly transmit high-definition video between devices. In addition, the range of 802.11n is expected to be much greater than current Wi-Fi standards — up to 1500 feet — and the new standard will be designed to operate at unlicensed frequencies in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

IEEE’s vote on the next-generation Wi-Fi standard effectively brings to a close the saga that has unfolded during the past year. After two groups — TgnSync and WWise — failed to garner enough support for their proposals to keep the standards process moving, large chipmakers led the creation of the EWC, which became a point of consensus.

  • Ransomware, data breaches inundate OT & industrial sector
    Three-quarters of industrial firms suffered a ransomware attack in the past year, with far more compromises affecting operational technology (OT) than ever before — representing a surge in attacks driven by both the industrial sector’s vulnerability and propensity to pay ransoms in order to remain operational. In the past 12 months, more than half of […]
  • How and why AT&T selected Fujitsu radios for 5G
    Lost in AT&T’s big $14 billion announcement with Ericsson for open RAN was the fact that it also plans to purchase 5G radios from Fujitsu. The move represents a major win for the Japanese wireless network equipment vendor, which is relatively unknown outside its home market. “In order to support the acceleration of open RAN in AT&T’s […]

    A Public Safety Spectrum Alliance (PSSA) filing this week reiterates its call for the FCC to award a nationwide license of 4.9 GHz  spectrum to the FirstNet Authority, ignoring a recent coalition filing that asks the commission to approve rules that would let local jurisdictions largely determine how the airwaves are used. Jeff Johnson, executive […]
  • Critical Bluetooth flaw exposes Android, Apple & Linux devices to takeover
    Attackers can exploit a critical Bluetooth security vulnerability that’s been lurking largely unnoticed for years on macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux device platforms. The keystroke injection vulnerability allows an attacker to control the targeted device as if they were attached by a Bluetooth keyboard, performing various functions remotely depending on the endpoint. Tracked as CVE-2023-45866, the flaw exists […]
