		are used in homes for household Internet connectivity without the need for run-
		ning cables. They’re also popping up all over the country in coffee shops, air-
		ports, hotels, convention centers, and other public spaces offering “on-the-go”
		connectivity to mobile users. The 802.11a standard is almost five times faster
		than 802.11b, and operates in the less crowded 5GHz radio band, but it’s not as
		common—yet. It is quickly being deployed wherever higher-speed connectivi-
		ty is desired.
