About WLAN and 802.11 Standards
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) uses radio frequency technology to transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections.

802.11b/g, today's most commonly used standard, operates in the 2.4 GHz range and provides data rates up to 11 Mbps. 802.11a operates in the 5 GHz range, providing data rates of 54 Mbps or more, enabling the transmission of more information with less interference. The 802.11g, which provides data rates up to 54 Mbps, offers backward compatibility with 802.11b devices.

802.11n is designed for payload data rates in excess of 100Mbps on wireless networks using MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) technology. MIMO technology uses multiple receivers and multiple transmitters in both the client and access point to achieve improved performance. The IEEE802.11n standard is expected to be ratified by 2007.
