The IEEE 802.11n amendment will give us a seventh PHY described in a clause 20 and called HT (for High Throughput). HT stations will be backwardly compatible with DSSS, OFDM, HR/DSSS, and ERP stations in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz RF bands! No amount of configuring an HT station will either make it not an HT station, nor make it entirely unaffected by transmissions of at least some of those other four PHYs.

Criss, thanks for the reference to the standards. I am a bit intrigued by the backwards compatibility. Does this mean that these IEEE 802.11, clause 20, HT stations will also have the ability to enable protection mechanisms?

YEEKS?

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
