A consortium of networking companies calling itself WWiSE (World Wide Spectrum Efficiency) is proposing a new 802.11n standard that will allow for throughput rates of up to 100 megabits per second.

802.11g, the current fastest Wi-Fi standard, has optimal rates of 54mbps but average rates of about half that.
