POPULAR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS GAIN LARGE BOOST IN SPEED

New IEEE 802.11g? Standard Extends Data Rate of IEEE 802.11b? WLANs to 54 Mbps 
from 11 Mbps

" PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, 12 June 2003 IEEE 802.11b?, the most widely used 
wireless local area network (WLAN) technology, has gotten a long-awaited 
increase in speed through a new amendment to the IEEE 802.11 ? standard 
ratified by the Standards Board of the Institute of Electrical and 
Electronics Engineers. The amendment, IEEE 802.11g?, raises the data rate of 
IEEE 802.11b networks to 54 Mbps (megabits per second) from 11 Mbps.

The added transmission speed gives wireless networks based on IEEE 802.11b 
(often called Wi-Fi) the ability to serve up to four to five times more users 
than they now do. It also opens the possibility for using IEEE 802.11 
networks in more demanding applications, such as wireless multimedia video 
transmission and broadcast MPEG. ... "
