Wi-Fi Alliance Announces Certification Plans for 802.11g

Wi-Fi Alliance certification testing of IEEE 802.11g products will begin after the IEEE has approved the final standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance said it intends to certify all mandatory features of the 802.11g standard, including backward interoperability with Wi-Fi certified 802.11b products, and simultaneous operation of IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g devices in a mixed network. Optional elements of the standard to be certified include support for the 54 Mbps data rate in addition to other selected optional IEEE 802.11g features that will optimize performance and network utilization.
