802.11g Approved By IEEE 54 mb/s on 2.4 gigahertz

wavecentral writes "IEEE just approved the 802.11g as the new standard in a vote late Thursday. This enables data transfer rates of up to 54 megabits per sec and works on the 2.4 gigahertz band that 802.11b uses. This in turn makes it compatable and operable between the offical standard." Ewann also writes: "By mid-2002 we should be seeing products based on this technology. Unlike 5 GHz 802.11a, 802.11g is backwards compatible with the huge installed base of 802.11b products. Cool stuff if you want to wirelessly stream video and music in your home. More info on 0211-planet."

This inturn makes it compatable and operable between the offical standard.

Man, my interns only fetch coffee and occasionally do some copying. Where do I get these interns that are able to design wireless networks? Come to think of it, where do I get Clinton-style interns?

Looks like people have mod points to burn

How did this get rated up as "insightful," rather than obvious?
