The standards that define WLANs will continue to evolve, at least in that new PHYs will be defined that provide for progressively higher speeds. As this book is going to press, the first mentions of the new IEEE 802.11n TG are being seen in the trade press.[1] As we have seen, additional capabilities such as improved security or QoS are also being added, and new PHYs are being defined that extend the reach of WLANs into more regulatory domains. The target deployment, however, will remain local (as far as the IEEE 802.11 WG is concerned), but end users will not be intentionally constrained in their ability to creatively deploy WLAN technology in legally permissible ways.
[1] These mentions are a bit early, ...
