IEEE to Determine 802.11g WLAN Specification

May 14, 2001

"Data rates are extremely critical," said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research at Parks Associates, a Dallas-based market research and consulting firm. "As 802 applications move from the office to the home, it means multimedia applications become more realistic for the home."

Parks Associates estimated that, while 5 percent of U.S. households currently have a PC network in place, as many as 15 percent will have one in five years. Of that, wireless networking will account for 40 percent of all those home networks, Scherf said.

From the article "IEEE to Determine 802.11g WLAN Specification," by Bob Liu.
