| | Popular Wireless Local Area Networks Gain Large Boost in Speed |
 | | Geoff Thompson, Vice Chair of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee and a member of the IEEE Standards Board, says: "The current round of IEEE 802 standards passed by the Standards Board, which includes IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.3af, "Data Terminal Equipment Power Via Media Dependent Interface," will help put networking equipment everywhere. |
 | | IEEE 802.11 standards form a family of specifications that define how WLAN equipment should be produced so equipment from different manufacturers can work together. |
 | | IEEE 802.11g, "Higher Speed Physical Layer (PHY) Extension to IEEE 802.11b," was developed by the IEEE 802.11 Working Group, which is sponsored by the IEEE 802 ® LAN/MAN Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society. |
