IEEE 802.11g
IEEE 802.11g was released in 2003 and was designed to enhance the technical capabilities of 802.11b and provide a speed of up to 54 Mbps. Like 802.11b, a frequency of 2.4 GHz was used, which meant that devices from both standards were able to communicate on the same network. This meant in the early days of 802.11g implementation, organizations did not necessarily have to replace all of their hardware at the same time. However, the downfall of mixing standards on a network was that the network could only go as fast as the slowest device. Therefore, a mixed network would likely reach 11 Mbps, which really defeated the object of having a faster standard. IEEE 802.11g had a maximum indoor range of 38 m.
For modulation, this standard ...
