802.11r: Wireless LAN Fast Roaming: Page 3 of 5

The IEEE's 802.11r standards initiative was established in 2004 to address 11i's limitations. The IEEE approved 11i while creating the 11r task group to address secure fast roaming. Many vendors--including Aruba, Broadcom, Cisco, Intel, Motorola, Nokia, SpectraLink and Texas Instruments--have been active in the 11r process.

The Wi-Fi Alliance is studying fast hand-off interoperability testing in its Enterprise Voice over Wi-Fi task group with a goal of releasing a certification plan in early 2008.
