802.11n Should Be Finalized By September

Hmmm. Per a PC Mag report, it turns out all those 802.11n routers that have been available for quite some time now (actually years) are not official.

Bob Heile, IEEE 802.15 working group on Personal Area Networks chair, just sent an email last Friday confirming the IEEE 802.11n draft standard had been sent on to the Standards Review Committee (RevCom). RevCom is the body that formally recommends standards for approval. It is scheduled to meet in Piscataway, NJ, Sept 9 - 11. Since RevCom meets quarterly, that means if the standard is not approved during this meeting, it will have to wait another 3 months.

Well, what is another three months when the it has been five years since the process started. :)
