Hi Rob, >> The pace of 802.11n development is shrinking the time frame for approval and is stretching capabilities into the realm of 802.16a WMAN.<< The pace is pretty slow, as the High-Throughput Study Group had been meeting for nearly two years before it became a task group in September. Typical 802.11 Task Groups take about three years (.11f and .11g started in Nov 1999, .11h started in 2000), and .11n is more controversial than any of those. .11h and .11j stretch WLAN OFDM into the realm of 802.16a, and .11n will go against 802.16e in the marketplace. IEEE 802.11 always was outdoors (except for infrared PHY), and always will be. petere [editor of 802.11j, licensed FWA in Japan]
