The Wi-Fi Alliance's recent announcement that it will begin certifying products using the 802.11n Draft 2.0 specification starting in June is expected to help enhance customer confidence over pre-N products and therefore boost sales of 802.11n devices and help the industry migrate to 802.11n from 802.11g.
This statement is reasonable since the alliance has certified products for all of the preceding 802.11 standards, including 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g, and customers have trusted the alliance's certification marks and have purchased Wi-Fi products accordingly. When the 802.11n Draft 1.0 standard was unveiled in March 2006, related chipmakers and network-equipment makers, especially those based in Taiwan, had hoped that the new standard would significantly help drive sales for the industry.
