802.11n Design and Deployment Guidelines

Overview The industry has been excited about 802.11n from the day the suggestion was made that fast Ethernet speeds might be achievable in the world of Wi-Fi. Now, that standard is ready for mass consumption in the form of the Draft 2.0 version of 802.11n from the IEEE, widely approved by the 802.11 Working Group. Earlier pre-N consumer products offered, at best, no guarantee of interoperability, forcing early adopters into single-vendor solutions, all without the features and performance to justify enterprise-grade deployments. Draft 2.0 dramatically shifts this trend by bringing stability to the standard, making good on the promise of 802.11n. And the Wi-Fi Alliance has begun certifying interoperability between products that support the standard's high-water mark.
