AP (click on the image for a larger view) Figures 27 and 28 provide some insight into Super G / XR's lower throughput. The uplink comparison in Figure 27 looks like True MIMO is really whuppin' Super G / XR's butt. But Figure 28 shows the throughput jump characteristic...

Atheros has virtually owned the 802.11a chipset market, so you'll find the same throughput and range enhancements as Super G, but called "Super AG". The good news is that, unlike 802.11b/g, 802.11a doesn't have overlapping channels. So although Super AG's "Turbo"...

but this week Atheros countered by announcing its "Super G" and "Super A/G" enhancements. Nitro is primarily aimed at offsetting the inefficiency that results from mixed 802.11b / g networks. Picture a conversation between a slow (11b) and fast (11g) talker...
