IEEE 802.11n-2009
Standard for Information technology— Telecommunications and information exchange between systems - Local and Metropolitan Area Networks-Specific Requirements-Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) & Physical Layer specifications Enhancements for Higher Throughput

IEEE 802.11n™ defines mechanisms to provide significantly improved data rates and ranges for wireless local area networks (WLANs).

This new amendment to the IEEE 802.11 base standard is designed to help the data communications industry address the escalating demands placed on enterprise, home and public WLANs with the rise of higher-bandwidth file transfers and next-generation multimedia applications.

WLANs based on IEEE 802.11 are widely deployed, with more than 1 million units shipping per day. The 560-page 802.11n amendment—**“…WLAN Enhancements for Higher Throughput " —enables rollout of significantly more scalable WLANs that deliver 10-fold-greater data rates than previously defined by the 802.11standards while ensuring co-existence with legacy systems and security implementations.
