A simple read that helps you see where we are going with some of this.

Compughter,

Went through the Article .
Seems to be a good one.

I think our Learning process will never end.

If you read the final EWC spec, you'll see that 3x3 gives a max throughput of about 200 Mbps on a 20 MHz wide channel. With the increases in efficiency that 802.11n will specify, that should be about 150 Mbps throughput on each channel.

Given that Atheros is the silicon provider for 100% of the enterprise WLAN infrastructure market and given that they have gone so far as to have one of their engineers write up something for CommsDesign, my guess is that the vast majority of 802.11n products (at least initially) will get about 150 Mbps total throughput.

That should mean some big things for enterprise office installations. I don't know if VoIP handsets are ready for prime time yet, but this could mean that enterprises can start designing office spaces with Wi-Fi as the primary interface rather than Ethernet. It also might mean that APs may not have to go to gigabit uplinks just yet. We'll see, though.
