[MLB-WIRELESS] 802.11n

[Dan Flett]

I first heard about 802.11n today:

Interesting - uses Multiple-In-Multiple-Out technology - ie they use
more than one transmitter and receiver.  When ratified it is supposed to
be backwards compatible with 802.11b/g - although it's all up in the air
at the moment with different manufacturing consortiums battling out a
standards war.  With multiple radios in each device, it might make
"mesh" networking easier, cheaper and a bit more scalable.  Not sure if
it'll have the same range as 802.11b though.
