Wireless Standards

The 802.11a standard specifies wireless communication at 5 GHz. Due to the wavelength of the signal, the range is only 35 meters. However, it can offer transmission speeds of up to 54 Mbps.

The 802.11b standard operates at 2.4 GHz. It supports a range of up to 38 meters. However, its transmission speed is only 11 Mbps.

The 802.11g standard operates at 2.4 GHz. It also supports a range of up to 38 meters. Its transmission speed is 54 Mbps. Super G bonds two channels to raise the transmission speed to 108 Mbps.

The 802.11n standard is a proposed standard. It will operate at either 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz. It is anticipated that it will support 600 Mbps transmission over a range of approximately 70 meters. 802.11n supports channel bonding.
