Gigabit Wi-Fi in the works

Not content with the 100Mbps or more that is possible with the 802.11n standard, an IEEE study group is already looking ahead to gigabit-speed Wi-Fi.

Such an advance would probably make many more people think twice about running cabling in many cases. If you can get a gigabit per second over the airwaves, why not do that instead of taking on the expense of cabling?

If you can secure it, that is.
