Wi-Fi 802.11n standardization remains elusive

摘要

Palm's academic and industry background bolsters his somewhat-controversial opinion. He earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of California-Irvine, a master's degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh), and a doctorate from the University of Tokyo. Before joining Broadcom in 1999, Palm was a senior staff engineer at Panasonic, and he also held several engineering and technical-planning roles at Rockwell International Semiconductor Systems. In 2005, he became technical director at Broadcom, with a focus on home-networking technologies, including Wi-Fi and MOCA (Multimedia Over Cable Alliance). He is chairman of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
