China Releases Own WLAN Security Standard

Posted by timothy on from the more-than-nomenclature dept.

Lownewulf writes "This NetworkWorldFusion article describes the release of the GB15629.11-2003 wireless networking standard in China, a wireless standard similar to 802.11, but with better security. The IEEE is worried that this may lead to the need to support two different standards in wireless networking hardware." ziggyboy adds a link to CNET's article, noting that "all wireless devices sold in China are required to comply to this standard from December 1."

    mod it as funny, please

    Because the standard was supposed to kick in just over a week ago? It's really not that funny. Certainly not enough to warrant modding up a FP whore.
