Pre-802.11n Offers 4x the Speed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-now-thats-something-isn't-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Belkin said on Monday that they'll be releasing a wireless network card and router that uses pre-802.11n multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology created by Airgo Networks. Belkin said the new pre-n products will provide four times faster speed and coverage area than 802.11b and g products. The new products will also be compatible with older products and in fact will increase performance on those older products."

    There is an 802.11i, so I'd go for 802.11b/i/n/g/o.

    OK, so we have 802.11b, 802.11n, and 802.11g. Is there an 802.11o? Because that would be interesting, seeing a wireless router advertise itself as being "802.11b/o/n/g Compatible!"

    And then 802.11i. 802.11b/i/n/g/o was its namo.
