Re: 802.11n ratification

A quick update for those of you who might not know. 802.11n has been approved by the IEEE taskgroup N and has been moved for a September vote in RevCom. This means that .11n is really close to full ratification and should be fully ratified by year end.

Hello Dennis

Do you know the difference between The Cisco implementation of 802.11n Draft and the IEEE 802.11n standard. ?

Cheers

The mandatory sections of the .11n standard is fully supported as far as I know by the Cisco gear. There are some things that Cisco doesn't do yet like 3x3 radios etc that are optional pieces of the standard.
