The IEEE has formed a new Wireless Performance Prediction (WPP) study group to help standardize the metrics and methods which describe Wi-Fi’s performance. Organizations participating in the WPP study group include Azimuth Systems, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Texas Instruments and Broadcom, regulatory agencies FDA and NIST, and independent testing organizations such as the University of New Hampshire’s Interoperability Labs (UNH-IOL) and Iometrix. http://www.azimuthsystems.com

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Wi-Fi. Here is what it replaced:
Wireless USB (UWB) served 2005–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Wireless USB (UWB) carried USB over ultrawideband radio (3.1-10.6 GHz) at short range, spreading signals across a huge bandwidth at low power for cable-free peripherals. Its job passed to Wi-Fi — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
