Re: +++Press News Byte - 802.15
Bob-
Jim-
I would not have a CLUE, nor would I expect any reader to without going and
doing a PAR lookup as to the meaning of:
"To provide a standard for low complexity, low cost, low power consumption
(comparable to the goals of 802.15.1)"
Is the comparison to 802.15.1 only for power or for all 3?
Are the readers REALLY expected to be inherently familiar with goals of
802.15.1 at this level?
Can you pass such a test on complexity cost or power consumption on an
arbitrary 802.3 project?
For the time being and for the above version I will vote no.
