Today the 802.11 committee ratified the second draft of the new 802.11n specification for wireless access.

This is a new and important step by the committee to get the new standard onto the shelves and into our home. With speeds that are looking to be towards the 200Mbit/s mark this is surely going to be VERY fast wireless. For more information see here

Pending the approval from a 15-day procedural letter ballot, the WG agreed to move this same draft specification in a separate 30-day WG letter ballot as a draft 2.0. Results of this letter ballot on 2.0 are intended to be collected and reviewed during the next meeting in March 2007 at Orlando.
