Wireless networks are taking the business and consumer worlds by storm, but incompatibilities between emerging standards still cause uneasiness in some users and network administrators looking to make the move to wireless. Network product maker Intersil Corp. is promising to change that with its new PRISM Duette, a chipset that can be used in future generations of wireless devices. The vast majority of wireless LAN devices on the market today operate according to the IEEE 802.11b specification, including Apple's AirPort products. This industry standard permits computers to transfer data without using network cables at around 11Mbps, the same speed as a conventional wired Ethernet 10baseT network. 802.11b-compliant devices send and receive data in the same frequency range as many digital cordless phones -- 2.4GHz. | ||
