Your success guide to the next wireless revolutionThe next watershed innovation in wireless technology is here: IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (LANs).Recent studies from IDC indicate that the Wi-Fi wireless LAN market will likely account for ninety percent of projected LAN equipment revenues by 2005-a trend that promises to spill over into home wireless networks. Yet this amazing growth has also created confusion: Which version of 802.11 is best for vendors and end-users? What about solutions such as the a/g and a/b combinations of the 802.11 standards?In World Wide Wi-Fi |
