The end of Ethernet?

Does the promise of high-speed 802.11n wireless networking mean the end of network cables in your office? On one level, it seems unlikely: even at its best, 802.11n is 180 shared Mbps versus the 1 Gbps switched bandwidth of most current Ethernet connections. The bandwidth-only discussion, though, ignores the mobile promise that 802.11n brings to the table. When you combine 802.11n's mobility and speed, you may well have a package that's good enough for enterprise deployment.
