Gigabit Wireless Networking On the Way?

A Network World article (9/11/08) reports on the formation of an IEEE group to develop a specification for gigabit wireless ethernet. This comes as the IEEE is finalizing their 100 megabit/sec standard, called 802.11n. A source for the article suggests that we may see gigabit wireless ethernet products in about three years. This kind of information is very useful to consider for long-range plans. While the information and dates are not really accurate, the general direction and trend of the technology often is very helpful to the planner.
