This report will explore the use of the latest wireless technology, the IEEE standard known as 802.11a, in providing fast, robust, and flexible wireless Local Area Networks that are inexpensive to install and maintain in corporate, government, medical, and educational environments. We will see how it differs from the 802.11b standard. I will enumerate its benefits compared to other connectivity solutions.
IEEE 802.11 specification is a WLAN standard that specifies the over the air interface between a wireless client and a base station (or access point
. . .
11 specifications have defined different physical media - the radio-based physical 802. This is particularly suitable for home use where high bandwidth applications e. The commercial hardware supporting this standard is likely to roll out by end of 2001. 11b was first to market due to its simpler technical implementation. 11b can provide bandwidths up to 11 Mbps at a distance of 50 to 150 feet indoors to over 1000 feet (with line of sight) outdoor. 11a, offering significant performance advantages, is now available to IT managers and organizations in need of robust high-speed wireless LANs. The advantages of the 11a standard include:
* Five times the speed
* Up to thirteen times more capacity
* Superior system reliability in the uncluttered 5 GHz band
* Worldwide availability
* Best network upgrade option
* Client compatibility with existing 802.
