I can recommend this Webinar. Not the usual sales pitch for a particular company. Very good information on the status of the standard and products. The speaker is bullish and thinks it is unlikely that .11n radios purchased now will not be firmware upgradable to the final standard, but of course, no guarantees.
It's also a good tutorial on some of the more technical aspects of 11n, such as consideration of the number of radios on the host and AP doing MIMO and its effect on performance. Also what performance is being seen in the lab for draft 2 products (100 mb/sec or better). Also a suggestion to deploy 11n only in the 5 GHz range and leave 2.4 to b/g. The audio comes through computer, along with powerpoint slides. I felt like it was time well spent Tom Zeller Indiana University [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------- Dear Tom, Thank you for attending AirWave¹s webcast Tuesday to hear Craig Mathias give an update on 802.11n.
