Well, i heard some Wise men saying “It’s Never too Late, when you Home”. But i strictly don’t have the same feelings about the whereabouts of this Wireless Technology, where researchers and Engineers were seeking an official Approve Stamp from the one and only IEEE (read eye-triple-e), “is an international non-profit, professional organization for the advancement of technology related to electricity. It has the most members of any technical professional organization in the world, with more than 365,000 members in around 150 countries” Since past Seven years or so.

Even though the N standard has been Drafted already, ready to use by one more Non-Profit Wireless Trade Alliance most commonly known as WiFi alliance. According to Sources from WiFi Alliance – Since 2007 the Wi-Fi Alliance has been certifying interoperability of “draft N” products based on what was draft 2.0 of IEEE 802.11n specification.They have affirmed that all formerly certified products will remain compatible with the products conforming to the final standard.
Well, for some lateral information IEEE is one of the leading standards-making organizations in the world. IEEE performs its standards making and maintaining functions through the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA). IEEE standards affect a wide range of industries including: power and energy, biomedical and healthcare, Information Technology (IT), telecommunications, transportation, nanotechnology, information assurance, and many more. Adding,
One of the more notable IEEE standards is the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN group of standards which includes the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard and the IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking standards.
So, THE IEEE has finally approved the 802.11n high-throughput wireless LAN standard after just seven years in the wilderness. (HooORahh)
The new wireless standard, capable of delivering throughput of 300Mbps and even higher, was first drafted in the year they buried the Queen Mum. The standard has since gone through six iterations.
According to the IEEE all existing WiFi Certified 802.11 Draft N wireless products will still work with the final standard.
802.11n offers much higher speeds than the existing 802.11g, which can only manage 54Mbps with the wind behind it.
Many wireless vendors have been offering 802.11n-based products during the past six years and calling them Draft N products.
Most existing equipment can be upgraded to the final specification via a firmware update, the IEEE said.
So, as now the words are official. More companies will look forward to make a foray and take advantage of immense opportunities in N-standards as compare to old G and B wireless standards.
Explanation of different standards, will come shortly. Watch this space for more.
