Analysts Examine WiFi's Future
SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - The future of WiFi wireless technology will encompass voice, cellular networks, the military and even toys, analysts said Wednesday at a wireless industry event here.
In a panel discussion at the 802.11 Planet show, analysts were asked to predict the future of 802.11 wireless technology.
Within the past few months, announcements of 802.11a, 802.11b, and hybrid chipsets have established the wireless market. But one thing is clear - any new products in new spectrum ranges must be backward compatible with 802.11a and 802.11b products, analysts said. And although the 802.11g standard has yet to be standardized, analysts don't seem to think that certification is a major problem.
