<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/article_images/article_thumbnail/1336503877_ieeein.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has approved a new standard on Tuesday, called 802.1aq. Known by a few names, including the Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) standard, it helps to reduce the complexity of Ethernet networks while increasing their scale. It takes on all functionalities of existing technologies, including Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Multiple MAC Registrat...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://cdn3.macnn.com/news/1106/wifi_gallery.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The IEEE announced today that it had finalized the 802.22TM white space wireless standards for Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN). White space wireless, sometimes called "super Wi-Fi" because of its long range capability and faster throughput, broadcasts data on unused, unlicensed frequencies that were designated for VHF and UHF television broadcast. The new standard will be capable of providi...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1006/iphone3gs-security.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The IEEE P1817 working group has come into effect last month and proposes a file protection system that aims to allow users to share their digital files but keep them protected from outright copying at the same time. Known as Digital Personal Property (DPP), it includes two pieces of a digital file and would be a less restrictive alternative to DRM file protection. There would be a title folder an...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0912/cellbattery.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The IEEE standards group will soon begin revising its 1725 standard for rechargeable batteries in cellphones. The undertaking aims to improve the quality and reliability of lithium-ion and lithium-ion polymer batteries as buyers demand more power and longer runtimes for their smartphones. The standard revision, called P1725, will set criteria for reliability, quality and the construction, cell lev...]]></description>

<title>Wi-Fi to top 1Gbps by 2012</title>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0912/appleairportextreme.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The IEEE has recently begun the first steps of voting on a major improvement to Wi-Fi standards due in two years.  The 802.11ac standard should upgrade 802.11a to use 80MHz or even 160MHz channels that provide much more bandwidth than today.  Combined with about a 10 percent increase in efficiency for modulating the actual frequencies, the speedup should improve the theoretical transfer speeds to ...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/macbookpro13inch-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The IEEE standards group today officially ratified 802.11n, the most recent standard for Wi-Fi.  The move officially takes the wireless spec out of the draft status it has been in since 2006 and lets companies develop 11n hardware knowing that it will work properly with any device that supports the technology.  Officials plan to publish the final standard in mid-October....]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/airportextreme-new.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[The Wi-Fi Alliance on Thursday said that the final version of the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard should effectively remain the same as it is in the Draft 2.0 spec.  The organization says that the test program for the finished version will only have some "optional additions" to support some minor new features.  Choosing the conservative approach will result in most Draft 2.0 devices already supporting the ...]]></description>
