Behind the push for WiMAX
We’ve been told for the past two years how much better WiMAX is than Wi-Fi. It has a potential range of 50 miles (far superior than the paltry Wi-Fi range of a few hundred feet), and it is all IP, making WiMAX easier to manage and secure using the same network and infrastructure that’s already in place.

Slow progress for 802.11n standards
The IEEE 802.11n standard has been three years in the making, and from the looks of it, it has at least another year to go. That’s a shame because it offers a lot of benefits, including higher throughput than the current Wi-Fi standard -- about 120Mbps in the real world -- and 50 percent longer range. Plus, because it uses multiple antennas that can stitch together a fractured signal, it eliminates a lot of spots where there might be drop-offs indoors.

Peer-to-peer device networking takes shape
The concept of SEDs (service-enabled devices) started way back in the ‘80s with something called tuple spaces, and later took shape as Jini  nder the guidance of Sun Microsystems.

This is my feature set and here are my printer drivers. Would you like to access me?”
