Ratified in 2003, this standard supports speeds as high as 54Mbps. Like 802.11a, other supported data rates include 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48Mbps. However, like 802.11b, this standard operates in the 2.4GHz band, which allows it to offer backward compatibility to 802.11b devices. It can use either the OFDM or DSSS transmission method.
