Wi-Fi's biggest advantage is that it provides mobility and coverage. But early versions of Wi-Fi did not achieve data rates on par with the wireline network. Recent advancements in wireless research ...

The IEEE 802.11 specification (ISO/IEC 8802-11) is an international standard describing the characteristics of a wireless local area network (WLAN). The name Wi-Fi (which stands for Wireless Fidelity, ...

The wireless toolkit for electronics design engineers widened considerably with the emergence of the 802.11n draft standard. Thanks to its performance benefits, 802.11n will expand the range of ...

The big news in wireless is the expected ratification of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) by the IEEE standards body early this year. Some vendors are already shipping pre-standard Wi-Fi 7 gear, and the Wi-Fi ...

It used to be the case that the ability to communicate wirelessly was a unique specialty among computing systems. These days it is rapidly becoming an expected feature, something that is assumed. An ...

IEEE 802 standards are used but not often thought of in our daily lives—IEEE 802.3, Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.15.4, Wi-SUN, etc. Despite these standards playing a role in almost every ...

In the IEEE standards camp, an 802.11e spec is being developed as an extension to the current 11M bit/sec 802.11b (2.4-GHz) wireless LAN standard to provide missing QoS and security provisions.

The IEEE Standards Association has published revisions to the documentation defining wireless local area network (LAN) products. IEEE 802.11 standards already provide the basis for products using wifi ...
