In 2002, a lot of vendors decided they should try to push 802.11a wireless Ethernet products – supposedly the latest and greatest thing in wireless networking.  

Unfortunately for them, at the same time the 802.11g  was in development and should probably eventually overtake both the 802.11b and the 802.11a models.  The best idea is to recommend wireless Ethernet that supports all the standards:  802.11b; 802.11a; 802.11g.

Wireless Ethernet is an Opportunity for Your Business

Because you are an IT consultant, you should know that wireless Ethernet is a great chance for you to grow and improve your business.  But because there are a lot of already-installed 802.11b products and most 802.11a products are not compatible with the “b” products, you will have trouble if you work with an 802.11a standard at the moment.  

The Main Idea about Wireless Ethernet

Wireless Ethernet will probably take over wired services (CAT 5) eventually as the main small business networking standard.  But it’s not clear yet when or how this will happen, so computer consultants should still take advantage of wireless Ethernet as a true business opportunity.
