Wireless Professionals Needed
The next generation in wireless may not be up to par, but it will be soon. And when it matures, it will need a workforce of educated wireless technicians and engineers to fill the new future computer jobs.
The online publication PC World recently tested a new group of wireless routers for networking capability, but found that most models did not provide connections as fast as the routers currently on the market.
Wireless routers from a new generation of draft-N routers were tested by PC World, including routers from Buffalo Technology, Netgear, and Linksys. One of the Netgear routers outperformed a current generation router, but the others did not. The testing suggested that wireless technology has room to improve.
