« Metalink Demos 802.11n | Main | NetGear Ships Draft 802.11n Devices »
D-Link may have the first draft 802.11n products on the market later this month: The draft chipsets incorporate what’s settled in the featureset as it moves its way through the IEEE task group process. Airgo claims there’s a lot of necessary work to be done; other chipmakers say minor tweaks addressable in firmware are all that’s needed. D-Link will offer a router ($160), PCI Card ($120), and CardBus ($100).
The devices use Atheros chips and promise 100 Mbps throughput. The article notes that 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is included, which will actually reduce performance on the high end, as 802.11n should outperform Ethernet, which runs at 80 Mbps subtracting overhead.
TG Daily reports that other announcements on 802.11n are expected at the Interop trade show next month.
Update: Scratch that! NetGear said this morning they are shipping their own 802.11n gear today.
