Gartner Says Don’t Deploy 802.11n until 2007
Companies should stay away from next-generation Wi-Fi equipment described as 802.11n compliant, Gartner has warned. Expect these technology investments to be good for at least four more years,” a group of three Gartner analysts recommended, adding that 802.11n should not be considered until 2007.
VBroadcom and Marvell have already announced that they will start producing ‘draft-compliant’ chipsets, but Gartner labelled these claims as “misleading” and “premature”.
The analyst firm believes that the technology is likely to be changed before a final standard is approved, and that additional testing will be required to ensure compatibility with existing Wi-Fi standards.
