We're really excited. There is now a first draft and we're back in the IEEE. - Dave Borison

The IEEE's recent approval of a draft 802.11n standard was sorely needed. In recent quarters the consumer market for WLAN equipment has stagnated, especially from a revenue perspective, because 802.11g-based products have been in the market for three years, and consumers have not seen a cost-benefit to upgrading to 802.11a. Due to its better coverage and higher data rates, 802.11n will likely become a key enabling technology for distributing video to multiple devices in the home. We expect 802.11n will comprise 90 percent of the consumer WLAN shipments in 2009. We also expect enterprises to begin widely adopting 802.11n in 2009, once this new technology has become established in notebook computers. - Greg Collins

The Ethernet Alliance is pleased to have Sun Microsystems as one of our founders. Sun Microsystems has a long history of involvement in IEEE 802.3 and in the formation of various past alliances for promoting of Ethernet technologies. - Brad Booth

The adoption of this specification is a huge step forward for the Joint Proposal team. For the first time the team now has a complete and consistent definition for next-generation, high performance wireless LAN devices.
