Wireless 802.11n speeds start to come into focus

[Joe]

he two major factions in the race to develop the standard for the next generation of Wi-Fi, 802.11n, have agreed to submit a unified proposal to the IEEE. The groups, TGn Sync and WWiSE, together with a third group, MITMOT, said late last month they will merge their respective proposals as a draft which will be sent to the IEEE in September. A final version will be submitted in November.

TGn Sync and WWiSE have been touting their respective suggestions for how 802.11n should work for almost a year now. With powerful wireless industry backers behind each proposal, these two groups quickly emerged as the most likely contenders for the final 802.11n specification, which is expected to take Wi-Fi speeds to 540Mbps.

540 MBPS ... doesnt mention the frequency of the carrier wave but talk of backwards compatibility by editing the sequencing + frequency modulation slightly (@ bottom of artice) make me believe they are aiming for the 2.4 GHZ frequency as used by DECT fones , current 802.11a/g and your home microwave .. congested much??
