802.11n standard could be delayed until mid-2007

The real data throughput of 802.11n is expected to reach a 540 Mbit/s and also offer a better operating distance than current networks. This is made possible by using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and OFDM.

Industry observers have called this an offensive gambit aimed at Airgo Networks, an emerging chipmaker, to be forced it to a fundamental redesign.
