In less than a decade, wireless LANs have evolved from an interesting idea to an indispensable technology for millions of businesses and consumers. This technology continues to evolve. The latest generation of high-speed wireless LAN solutions, based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Draft 802.11n standard, are now available.

The 802.11n standard will offer several advantages over previous wireless LAN technologies. The most notable advantages are substantially improved reliability and greater application data throughput. However, before deciding whether to deploy 802.11n wireless solutions, organizations need answers to several questions: What do 802.11n technologies do differently from previous wireless solutions? What is the state of the standardization effort for 802.11n? Will 802.11n be backward-compatible with currently deployed wireless clients and access points? What factors should be considered to determine when it makes sense to deploy 802.11n?
