| Dell notebooks to feature draft WiFi standard |
Dell plans to offer home users a new, faster version of wireless networking in their notebooks that has yet to be completely finalized by a wireless standards body.The draft specification for the next-generation 802.11n standard has been completed, but final ratification isn't expected until next year. Wireless networking vendors, however, have already started offering routers and access points based on the draft version of the technology, and Dell will now allow some notebook customers to purchase 802.11n cards bundled into their PCs.
The 802.11n standard comes with two important advances: faster link speeds and wider operating range, as the result of the MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) standard at the heart of the technology. Home users who upload a lot of pictures or video through their home networks will love the rate increase, and some will now be able to take their notebooks out on the deck or into the backyard, said Clay Rayborn, product marketing manager for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at Dell.
