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 ...

In early 2000, the IEEE 802.11 Task Group G was given the job of developing a higher-speed, backward-compatible physical-layer extension to the highly successful IEEE 802.11b standard. The new ...

Looking to gain a foothold in the Internet of Things, HaLow and White-Fi bring low-power and long-range potential to a wide array of applications. The IEEE standard 802.11 usually defines what we all ...

The implementation of a Chinese security standard for wireless networking could undermine efforts to develop a global standard for wireless LANs (WLANs) and drive up the cost of networking equipment ...

The wireless medium has fundamentally different characteristics from a wired medium. When providing QoS, we should remember that the MAC endeavors to provide QoS service guarantees within this ...

Wi-Fi 7 is the latest evolution in the 802.11 IEEE standard of wireless networking, and it’s the direct sequel to Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E. It’s faster, offers improved support for a greater number of ...

Wi-Fi technology has evolved over the past 20 years, with earlier generations focusing on increasing data rates and speed. However, Wi-Fi 6, also known as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics ...

Wi-Fi is everywhere and we can’t really do without it. But the current-gen Wi-Fi standard is limited to data transfer between devices, and with every new iteration, we just see better speeds and ...

Our life is surrounded by internet services and it’s hard to imagine not being connected to the web one way or another. It’s also worth thinking about technologies such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet, which ...

Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote about processors, digital photography, AI, quantum computing, computer science, materials science, supercomputers, drones, browsers, 3D ...
