New WiFi Standard Pushed Back to 2008 |
Ó
While the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) had already approved of a draft version - called 802.11n - a second draft ,which should have been due this fall wouldn't most likely come out until January of next year. And that's just the second draft. This would catapult the release of the final output to 2008!
What's the reason for delay? Nearly 12,000 changes to the draft was submitted to the standards committee. Comments on the current draft are flying in from left, right, and center, and it would take the IEEE some time to agree on the new draft. Imagine: going through all those comments!Well, we do remember some issues regarding 802.11 Pre-N drafts. So I guess it's not surprising that the IEEE should get 12,000 change requests, and even less surprising that the release date should get pushed back.
Craig Mathias, an analyst up at Farpoint Group, says that it's quite improbable that the drafts would be compatible with what the eventual standard would be, and that they (the draft routers) wouldn't be able to be upgraded to the new standard. Still, those who plan on using these drafts at home would still be able to work out their connection just fine.
