Following Apple’s lead, Microsoft announced Tuesday that it has updated its line of wireless-networking products, adding gear based on the 802.11g Wi-Fi standard, which Apple has utilized in its AirPort Extreme products for some time.

The new 802.11g wireless networking specification, which Apple utilizes in its AirPort Extreme products, is helping to maintain strong growth in the Wi-Fi industry, according to a research report. The Dell’Oro Group released a report Wednesday indicating that “sales in the second quarter of products based on the new 802.11g standard are more than making up for a decline in revenue from 802.11b-based products,” according to CNET News.com.

As expected, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) today approved the final standard for the 802.11g wireless networking specification, which Apple utilizes in its new AirPort Extreme products.

As we reported yesterday, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has approved the final standard for the 802.11g wireless networking specification, which Apple utilizes in its new AirPort Extreme products. Computerworld reports that the specification will have “a true throughput for Internet-type connections of between 10M and 20Mbit/sec., far lower than 54Mbit/sec.

The 802.11g wireless networking specification, which Apple’s AirPort Extreme utilizes, is on track for standards approval, according to c|net. “A working group within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an organization responsible for setting standards for the networking industry, finished work on the most recent version of the 802.11g wireless networking specification last week.
