WLAN vendors debate 802.11g spec, coexistence issues
Though security has been getting the lion's share of attention in discussions of wireless local-area and personal-area networking, it is, paradoxically, the easiest problem to fix through basic attention to keys and virtual private networking. But three other vexing issues facing designers who plan to incorporate wireless LAN and PAN connectivity - the IEEE-802.11g specification, the coexistence of LANs and PANs, and power consumption - are the subjects on the minds of contributors to this week's InFocus section.802.11g spec: Covering the basics
Can Bluetooth, Wi-Fi coexist in the future?
How to get backward compatibility in next gen WLANs
Software development crucial for multistandard radios
Achieving battery life for handhelds with 802.11b connectivity
For speed: there's 802.11, everything else, Bluetooth
