what through put is this standard going to give us and what will the backward compatability be??

what frequency is it going to use??

anywhere i can read up on the developments??

Basically 802.11n is supposed to take wireless past the 100Mbps mark.

The IEEE 802.11 Working Group, http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/index.html, is an excellent starting point. The Wi-Fi alliance document, http://www.wi-fi.com/opensection/pdf/802.11n_q_a.pdf, is probably closest to what you are looking for.

Otherwise go to http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/std/lanman/restricted/802.11-1999.pdf. This is restricted and you will need to be a member or a trial user. If you absolutely must have access to this soon, please email me.

Cheers,

Josef.

802.1n backwards compatible to 802.11a. throughput on paper about 100 mbits

same frequency as 802.11a.

ieee website? (not sure)

Hi,

802.11n offers around 4 times the speed of normal 802.11 networks. Yes, it'll be more than 100Mbps.

There is a requirement for backward compatibilities between .11n networks and legacy .11a/b/g networks specified in Project Authorization Request (PAR).

An interesting technology to read in conjunction with 802.11n is the MIMO or smart antennas.
