&gt;how about 802.11a?<br />
Has been ratified for years now<br />
<br />
There are a few drafts opened: <a href="http://standards.ieee.org/about/get/" rel="ugc">http://standards.ieee.org/about/get/</a><br />

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm doing a class project on home wireless networking, focusing on a few of the 802.11 protocols (b/g/n). &nbsp;As part of it I would like to do some research into upcoming/future technologies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I've hit a bit of a road block here. &nbsp;It doesn't seem like much competes with the 802.11 standards in the wireless LAN area? Is there an upcoming 802.11 standard (after n)? <br />
<br />
Or, are there interesting specific technologies that will be combined to make up the next standard? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
