Spelling: 54g
"54g [1]" is Broadcom\'s [2] implementation of the current (December
2002) 802.11g [3] draft specification. Broadcom [4] are the first to
jump the gun on the 802.11g [5] standard, which will provide up to
54Mbps speeds while maintaining backwards compatibility with 802.11b
[6].
Note: 54g [7] is NOT 802.11g [8], nor is it a bona-fide standard.
While Broadcom [9], and vendors using their 54g [10] chipsets, agree
that it's unlikely any hardware, firmware, or software changes will be
necessary to conform with the complete and ratified 802.11g [11]
specification, they still do not guarantee 54g [12] products will be
able to operate with true 802.11g [13] products.
54g [14] products are guaranteed to remain compatible with each
other, and 802.11b [15], however.
Products using 54g equipment include the Linksys WAP54G [16], and the
D-Link DI-624 [17].
