Mobile applications are driving innovations in wireless LAN technology as the exponential growth in users has put increasing demands on wireless bandwidth. The emerging 802.11n WLAN technology standard promises to address many of the demands for higher bandwidth. WLAN systems using 802.11n technology can deliver wireless data rates of at least five times the data rates currently available with legacy 802.11a/g systems.
