A consortium of networking companies has readied its proposal for the next wireless networking standard, as battle lines are drawn between rival groups.
The group, calling itself WWiSE (short for World Wide Spectrum Efficiency), on Thursday announced that it is submitting suggestions for the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 802.11n task group to consider in developing the next-generation Wi-Fi standard. The 802.11n standard will allow for actual throughput rates of up to 100 megabits per second. In comparison, 802.11g, the current fastest Wi-Fi standard, has optimal rates of 54mbps but average rates of about half that.
