Equipment Vendors
The 802.11 wireless standard went through a radical transformation in
early 2000 as the standard increased its throughput from 2 to 11 Mbps.
This made the wireless standard, at the very least, competitive with the
old 10-Mbps wired Ethernetwork. It was at this point that vendors basically
had to reformulate their offerings completely to ensure their equipment
would function at the faster speed. The real trick was to make the
pricing competitive in order to achieve mass adoption of this standard.
A number of vendors have taken advantage of this market, but several
have established themselves as the main product vendors of 802.11b
hardware. Most of these same vendors are working on 802.11a hardware
that will also be compatible with 802.11b.
