802.11g... It's Official

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-can't-we-all-get-along dept.

JoeBuck writes "This article in CommsDesign reports that the IEEE has officially approved the IEEE 802.11g standard, as well as another standard (802.15.3) for shorter-range, very-low-power operation. Two other standards designed to improve compatibility between different vendors' access points were also approved."

    I guess Apple either did a lot of bitching or threw money at the IEEE (or possibly both) to get the standard finalized at 54mbit. I had heard that the IEEE was skeptical about that speed and had mentioned something along the lines of mid-to-low 20's. Anyways, I'm glad to see that Apple's investiment in their Airport Extreme products wasn't a waste. Now if we could agree on a wireless power standard...
