Because 802.11a has a greater number of non-overlapping channels, you can pack more wireless devices in a tighter space. 802.11b/g 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n all operate in the 2.4GHz band. 802.11b can support data rate up to 11Mbps. 802.11g can support data rate up to 54Mbps. 802.11n can support data rate up to 300Mbps.They all support the widest coverage - up to 100m (328ft). It is however, subject to a greater risk of radio interference because it operates in the more popular 2.4GHz band. Consider 802.11n when you need wider coverage and vendor compatibility and you are: ■ Maintaining support for existing 802.11b and 802.11g users and the existing wireless investment while providing for expansion into 802.11n. ■ Implementing a complete wireless LAN solution, including Ethernet Adapters, gateways, access points and clients; Wi-Fi certification guarantees compatibility among vendors.

Key Product Features
Transferring large files like computer-aided design files,
preprint publishing documents or graphics files, such as MRI
scans for medical applications that demand additional
bandwidth.
Supporting a dense user base confined to a small coverage
area. Because 802.11a has a greater number of
non-overlapping channels, you can pack more wireless
devices in a tighter space.
802.11b/g
802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n all operate in the 2.4GHz band.
802.11b can support data rate up to 11Mbps. 802.11g can
support data rate up to 54Mbps. 802.11n can support data rate
up to 300Mbps.They all support the widest coverage – up to
100m (328ft). It is however, subject to a greater risk of radio
interference because it operates in the more popular 2.4GHz
band.
Consider 802.11n when you need wider coverage and vendor
compatibility and you are:
Maintaining support for existing 802.11b and 802.11g users
and the existing wireless investment while providing for
expansion into 802.11n.
Implementing a complete wireless LAN solution, including
Ethernet Adapters, gateways, access points and clients; Wi-Fi
certification guarantees compatibility among vendors.
