What’s the difference between 802°11b, 802°11g, 802°11a, and
draft 802°11n?
Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds° Each is
based on the designation for certifying network standards° The
most common wireless networking standard, 802°11b, transmits
information at 11Mbps; 802°11a and 802°11g work at 54Mbps; and
draft 802°11n works at 108Mbps° See the following chart for more
detailed information°
