| 127184 | 2003-03-10 22:22:00 | Basically these are incompatible standards that in some cases use different transmission frequencies to transfer data. 802.11b uses the 2.4Ghz range which is also used by things like your microwave oven. Each standard can also transmit data at different rates. The latest 802.11g (which is not a standard yet) can transfer data at approx 20Mb/sec, but these transfer rates alter depending on distance etc. Each standard also has limits on the number of users that can access at one time. See here (grouper.ieee.org) and here (www.webopedia.com) for some additional info. |
