Four Simultaneous Access Points OK for 802.11b

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the slashdot-needs-a-wireless-topic dept.

jlouderb writes "ExtremeTech is reporting on a new analysis that shows that four of the 11 802.11b channels can actually be used simultaneously, rather than the just the three used today. This has big ramifications for multi-access point installations, especially in taller buildings. The analysis was done by the CTO of an 802.11b startup called Cirond and a white paper with all the details should be posted to their site later today."

    Before anyone thinks that Europe is better because they have more useable channels, don't forget that our 802.11b channels have much larger asses than theirs.

    According to this article, that's indeed correct.

    Still, 802.11b is a major security nightmare. Remember that story about how Dubya got publicly embarassed due to a leaky 802.11b network? At least he should have used WEP (... and drawn the curtain...).
