But let's not gloss over what a stunning accomplishment this really is. Or what it will mean down the road in terms of wireless technology becoming the dominant network technology in enterprise shops. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/78312/wi-fi-eyes-global-domination#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News 802.11n wifi wlan Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:09:35 -0400 ITworld staff 78312 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/78306/colleges-get-head-start-new-80211n-standard The IEEE this month finally ratified the 802.11n wireless standard, long after Brandeis University and the University of California, San Diego started installing equipment based on draft versions of the specification. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/78306/colleges-get-head-start-new-80211n-standard#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News 802.11n wifi wlan Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:44:05 -0400 ITworld staff 78306 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/77321/80211n-demands-special-considerations The IEEE will shortly ratify 802.11n – a standard in development for six years and shipping in enterprise products for more than two. Much of the attention has been on the higher data rate, an increase from the 54 Mbps of legacy 802.11a/g to 300 Mbps, but the standard’s true implications are much broader – it signifies the advent of the all-wireless enterprise. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/77321/80211n-demands-special-considerations#comments Mobile & wireless Networking Opinion 802.11n wifi wlan Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:51:20 -0400 ITworld staff 77321 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/77287/80211n-set-final-approval Sometime on Friday, at the sprawling Hyatt Regency hotel in New Brunswick, N.J., an IEEE group called the Standards Board is expected to approve the 802.11n wireless LAN standard. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/77287/80211n-set-final-approval#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News 802.11n wlan Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:41:41 -0400 ITworld staff 77287 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/69423/wlan-market-slammed-80211n-gains The first quarter of this year may have been the gloomiest ever for the wireless LAN market, with overall revenue falling about 11 percent from a year earlier, the first year-over-year drop recorded by industry analyst firm Dell'Oro. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/69423/wlan-market-slammed-80211n-gains#comments Mobile & wireless News 802.11n wlan Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:41:00 -0400 ITworld staff 69423 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/69348/china-propose-wlan-security-standard-global-use-again China will submit its wireless LAN security protocol to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for consideration as a global standard, years after its rejection by the standards body incensed Chinese backers http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/69348/china-propose-wlan-security-standard-global-use-again#comments Mobile & wireless News wlan Tue, 16 Jun 2009 09:40:58 -0400 ITworld staff 69348 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/68970/meru-revamps-wlan-management-software Meru Networks has released a radically revised wireless LAN management application that for the first time runs on a dedicated appliance to collect only periodic summaries of access point statistics and look for problems. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/68970/meru-revamps-wlan-management-software#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News Meru Networks wifi wlan Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:32:59 -0400 ITworld staff 68970 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/68402/chips-target-unified-edge-switch-wireless-wired-clients Broadcom this week announced new chips designed to create a low-cost 802.11n wireless LAN edge for the enterprise, without the need for separate WLAN controllers. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/68402/chips-target-unified-edge-switch-wireless-wired-clients#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News 802.11n Broadcom chips wlan Tue, 26 May 2009 16:44:34 -0400 ITworld staff 68402 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-wireless/68081/accountability-enterprise-wireless-deployments As the need for mobility has grown in the enterprise, so have the security risks.
