The IEEE standards association on Monday published IEEE 802.112012, which defines the technology for upcoming wireless local area network (LAN) products. The new IEEE 802.112012 revision has been expanded significantly by supporting devices and networks that are faster, more secure, while offering improved quality of service and, improved cellular network handoff.



new IEEE 802.11 release is the product of an evolutionary process that has played out over five years and drawn on the expertise and efforts of hundreds of participants worldwide. More than 300 voters from a sweeping crosssection of global industry cheap uggs contributed to the new standard, which has roughly doubled in size since its last published revision, said Bruce Kraemer, chair of the IEEE 802.11 working group.



IEEE 802.11 defines one MAC and several PHY specifications for wireless connectivity for fixed, portable and mobile stations. IEEE 802.112012 is the fourth revision of the standard to be released since its initial publication in 1997. In addition to incorporating various technical updates and enhancements, IEEE 802.112012 consolidates 10 amendments to the base standard that were approved since IEEE 802.11 real ugg boots last full revision, in 2007. IEEE 802.11n, for example, defined MAC and PHY modifications to enable much higher throughputs, with a maximum of 600Mb/s; other amendments that have been incorporated into IEEE 802.112012 addressed directlink setup, roam, radio resource measurement, operation in the 36503700MHz band, vehicular environments, mesh networking, security, broadcast/multicast and unicast data delivery, interworking with external networks and network management.



"Every day, about two million products that contain IEEE 802.11based technology for wireless communications are shipped around the world. Continuous enhancement of the standard has helped drive technical innovation and global market growth. And work on the next generation of IEEE 802.11 already has commenced with a variety of project goals including extensions that will increase the data rate by a factor of 10, improve audio/video delivery, increase range and decrease power consumption," said Mr. Kraemer.
