Hello! I have been looking for information about the IEEE developing standard 802.11y and I sitll haven't found any information about the modulation technique and the channel width to be used. Can anyone give me that answers? They're already on the 6th draft... Another doubt I have it's if it's expected to be implemented in Europe. I only read references to FCC and it's implementation in the US... how about in Europe, isn't ETSI to approve it's utilization? Thank you for the attention. Compliments, Rodrigo S.
Where were you looking? Google has plenty of information. IEEE 802.11 Subgroup Y IEEE P802.11 - TASK GROUP Y IEEE 802.11y - ArticleWorld SethBlog: Wireless Alphabet Soup
My understanding is that "n" is a draft. The standards for "n" have not been fully decided on yet. It is possible that current "draft n" devices may not be compatible with new ones once the n standard is finalized. -Jay
Bugwart, none of those links have the information I was looking for. The information I have at this moment it's enough Even so, what I wanted where some official documents with the specifications. Thank you for you help Cellular freak, if it's better than 802.11n depends on the perspective. IEEE 802.11y maximum data rate will be the 54Mbs, in contrast with the 802.11n in the order of the hundreds of Mbps. In the other side, 802.11y will have a reach of an impressive 5km (~3 miles) radios in outdoor This is very good to provide Internet to rural areas. It's believe that the 802.11y draft will be an actual standard in June, this year, in contrast with 802.11n that will only be on June 2009. This amendment to 802.11 has been created to be used in the US in the 3.7GHz band. I'm not sure, but I think in many places of Europe the 3.7GHz frequency it's licensed But it must be a matter of time until it can be used in other frequency's Compliments, Rodrigo Selada
