802.11n is Expected to Emerge as a Stable Wi-Fi Standard in 2008.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48355) has announced the addition of The Wireless Multimedia LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. : Requirements and Outlook to their offering. This comprehensive report probes the features and applications of next-generation Wi-Fi 802.11n technology, examines market requirements for wireless multimedia networking, compares & contrasts competing technologies, analyzes industry issues and the competitive landscape, and predicts market size and demand for a variety of wireless multimedia applications, including home networking equipment, computers, and fixed and mobile entertainment CE devices. "802.11n will emerge as a stable Wi-Fi standard in 2008 and gradually replace 802.11g as the dominant Wi-Fi choice for wireless home networking," said Harry Wang, research analyst, Parks Associates. "The fact that consumers favor wireless access for the home network, coupled with 802.11n's technical merits, such as higher throughputs and more robust QoS, will power the growth of new entertainment platforms such as digital media adapters See digital media hub. and wireless TV set-top boxes The cable TV box that sits on "top" of the TV "set," although it is often located several feet away in an equipment rack. The set-top box descrambles the premium channels and provides a tuner for the higher cable numbers that very old TVs did not support. ."
