The Institute of Electrial and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has tentatively approved the 802.11g wireless networking protocol. Similar to 802.11b (AirPort), 802.11g operates at the same 2.4GHz frequency—allowing for backwards compatibility with 802.11b products—while boosting transfer speeds from 11Mbps to 54Mbps. 802.11g products are expected to arrive within about a year.
