IEEE Chairman, Bob Heile late Monday signaled that the 802.11n standard will be likely to be finalized by September 2009. The move comes after a "rocky" point of getting appropriate language into the late draft of the 802.11n format. Although already seeing widespread use, the new standard has been one of the longest delayed implementations of Wi-Fi and eventually forced the IEEE to ratify the Draft 2.0 specificaton so that companies could start building adapters, notebooks, and routers with up to the 300Mps peak speed without having to wait for the final versions uncertain approval while promising compatibilty later on. Most corporations using mobile computers are already using the "draft" version of 802.11n in their hardware.
