The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for
unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the
vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents
a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless
capabilities in the hands of users around the globe.
10. What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?
Approved in June, 2003 as an
IEEE
standard for wireless local area networks
(
WLAN
s), 802.11g offers wireless transmission over relatively short distances at up
to 54
megabit
s per second (Mbps) compared with the 11 megabits per second of
the
802.11b
(
Wi-Fi
) standard. Like 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4
GHz
range and is thus compatible with it.
