Standards body boosts wireless network speeds to 600 Mbps

摘要

The Wi-Fi standards group has decided to increase the speed of the next wireless local-area network (WLAN) standard to 600 Megabits per second, which one industry observer says will allow companies to connect two locations within the same city. The Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) announced this month its High Throughput Task Group voted to change its 802.11n (Wireless LAN Medium Access Control and Physical Layer Specifications: Enhancements for Higher Throughput), which is expected to be finalized next year, to allow wireless connection speeds of up to 600 Mbps.
