Approved in June, 2003 as an IEEE standard for wireless local area networks
(WLANs), 802.11g offers wireless transmission over relatively short distances at up
to 54 megabits per second (Mbps) compared with the 11 megabits per second of the
802.11b (Wi-Fi) standard. Like 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz range and is
thus compatible with it.
