Motorola Says No To 802.11 Draft Devices

Motorola is taking a pass on producing 802.11n products until the standard is fully ratified, the company told ZDNet UK on Friday. Officials say they would rather wait for the final standard to be worked out before releasing any products. While many other companies including Intel and Cisco have started producing 802.11n draft compliant devices, the standard could still easily change.

Disagreements still exist over the final makeup of the standard, which could render some 802.11n draft equipment useless once the standard is agreed upon. Motorola seemed to chastise the Wi-Fi Alliance's recent decision to begin certifying draft products, calling it confusing for consumers.
