Airgo Networks’ announced new wireless chip sets. InfoWorld says that Airgo chips for 802.11a could reach 300 feet or more and support a minimum throughput of about 34Mbps. The maximum 802.11a data rate is 54Mbps, with a range at that rate of about 100 feet. (It can reach further but the rate drops.) Actual 802.11a throughput typically is in the 17Mbps to 22Mbps range.
