802.11n - The consequences of abandoning the 5 GHz frontier: When 802.11b first started getting popular in late 2000, no one imagined that it would still be the most dominant standard 6 years later and continue to dictate the design of the latest wireless LAN products because it is the lowest common denominator. As with any technology that is...; Tags: Infrastructure, Mobile/Wireless, Networking, News, Hardware, IEEE 802.11; Blog posts 2007-01-24

Have 802.11g, will travel: HotelChatter blog names the best hotels for Wi-Fi: I use Wi-Fi frequently in hotels. I prefer free over paid Wi-Fi, but as long as it works, I'm in.With that in mind, I have been reading Best WiFi Hotels 2006, a lengthy post on the HotelChatter blog.Boutique hotel chain Kimpton Hotels wins the top accolade among the higher-priced...; Tags: Wi-Fi, Kimpton Hotels; Blog posts 2006-03-28
Experimental Characterization of Interference in a 802.11g Wireless Mesh Network: Multi-channel wireless networks are being studied as a means to increase wireless network capacity. The implicit assumption is that network throughput increases in direct proportion with the number of non-overlapping channels used. But there have been very few studies which have experimentally verified this premise. This paper characterizes the performance...; Tags: Mesh Networking, Network, IEEE 802.11g, Assumption, Wireless Network, Wi-Fi, Wireless, Networking; White papers 2005-12-11
A Single Chip Phase-Locked Loop Local Oscillator for 802.11g WLAN Radio Transceivers in 0.18um CMOS: This paper describes the design of a PLL for synthesis of a local oscillator in an 802.11g transceiver. The intention is for this device to be included in a zero-IF single chip transceiver fabricated in TSMC's 0.18um CMOS process.
