Faster Wireless Standard Approved (PCWorld.com)

[Posted June 18, 2003 by cook]

According to PCWorld, the 802.11g wireless standard has been approved. "The new standard, 802.11g, lays out the ground rules for wireless LAN gear that is capable of at least 24 megabits per second and up to 54 mbps, while remaining backward compatible with existing 802.11b gear that runs at a maximum 11 mbps. Both standards use radio spectrum in the range of 2.4 GHz. Another standard, 802.11a, defines 54 mbps gear in the 5-GHz range."
