The big news in wireless is the expected ratification of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) by the IEEE standards body early this year. Some vendors are already shipping pre-standard Wi-Fi 7 gear, and the Wi-Fi ...

IEEE 802.15 is the working group for Wireless Specialty Networks (WSN), which are used in IoT, wearables and autonomous vehicles. IEEE 802.15 is the working group for WSNs, or wireless specialty ...

The standard offers theoretical speeds ranging from 6.5 Mbps to 866.7 Mbps. There is always another standard coming. This one focused on high throughput wireless networks. It is the IEEE standard ...

In early 2000, the IEEE 802.11 Task Group G was given the job of developing a higher-speed, backward-compatible physical-layer extension to the highly successful IEEE 802.11b standard. The new ...

Wi-Fi technology has evolved over the past 20 years, with earlier generations focusing on increasing data rates and speed. However, Wi-Fi 6, also known as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics ...

The implementation of a Chinese security standard for wireless networking could undermine efforts to develop a global standard for wireless LANs (WLANs) and drive up the cost of networking equipment ...

Looking to gain a foothold in the Internet of Things, HaLow and White-Fi bring low-power and long-range potential to a wide array of applications. The IEEE standard 802.11 usually defines what we all ...
