Subject: 802.11g Award for Technical Excellence Press Release
Motion Paul, This is the press release motion I would like to put to the 802 EC for consideration and approval under our LMSC P&P. I will Move, and Bob Heile will second. +++++++++ Dear 802 EC Members, I have great pleasure to inform you all that 802.11 WG has won a second prestigious award from PC Magazine. The 20th Annual Awards for Technical Excellence By the Editors of PC Magazine November 18, 2003 I am very pleased to announce that the
IEEE 802.11 Working Group and the Wi-Fi Alliance have jointly been awarded the
PC Magazine 2003 award for Technical Excellence in the Protocol section for the
802.11gTM amendment, on Monday night at the Venetian Hotel,
Las Vegas, NV ceremony. Stuart J. Kerry (IEEE 802.11 Chair) and Frank Hanzlik
(Managing Director of Wi-Fi Alliance) were present to accept the award on behalf
of our members. The other two finalist in our category were Serial ATA and WS-I
Basic Profile. "The IEEE's 802.11g standard
defines the way wireless LAN gear communicates at up to 54 megabits per second
while remaining backward-compatible with 11-Mbps 802.11b. This important
breakthrough enables streaming media, video downloads, and a greater
concentration of users without interference. In addition to technical hurdles,
the standards group had to overcome commercial rivalries and FCC rule changes to
enact the standard." About the IEEE Standards Association The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through an open process that brings diverse parts of an industry together. These standards set specifications and procedures based on current scientific consensus. The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of more than 870 completed standards and more than 400 standards in development. Over 15,000 IEEE members worldwide belong to IEEE-SA and voluntarily participate in standards activities. For further information on IEEE-SA see: http://www.standards.ieee.org/. About the IEEE The IEEE has more than 375,000 members in
approximately 150 countries. Through its members, the organization is a leading
authority on areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications to
biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics. The IEEE produces nearly
30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics
engineering, computing and control technology fields. This nonprofit
organization also sponsors or cosponsors more than 300 technical conferences
each year. Additional information about the IEEE can be found at
