802.11n lives up to promises

How do you feel about WiFi? Handy, fast enough (most of the time), but could be better? If that describes your take on wireless Ethernet, then a new test says that 802.11n could be the technology you've been looking for. The IT staff at Morrisville State College in New York decided to try Meru Networks equipment, and they found something interesting: 802.11n works pretty much as advertised, with user throughput ranging from 100-300 Mbps. The staff at Morrisville saw 802.11n performance that was at least five times greater than 802.11g, with some performance over nine times greater than 802.11g. Sounds like it's time to start planning for final 802.11n.
