IEEE TASK GROUP ADVANCES STANDARDS PROCESS FOR HIGHER-SPEED 802.11
WIRELESS
LOCAL AREA NETWORKS


PISCATAWAY, N.J., __ January 2006 - The IEEE has approved a joint
proposal
to amend the IEEE 802.11T wireless local area network (WLAN) standard by
adding specifications for new technologies that will raise WLAN
connection
speeds to as much as 600 Mbps (megabits per second). 
	The task group working on this amendment, IEEE 802.11nT,
"Wireless
LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications:
Enhancements for Higher Throughput", voted unanimously to confirm the
joint
proposal.  The project to develop IEEE 802.11n began in 2003 to ensure
the
interoperability of the next generation of WLAN devices.  A draft of the
amendment is expected in late 2006, with publication slated for 2007.  
 "The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN working group continues to improve this
WLAN
standard to meet the evolving needs of the public and industry," said
Stuart
J. Kerry, Chair of the IEEE 802.11 Working Group on Wireless Local Area
Networks.  "Hundreds of technical experts from the world's leading
technology companies, academic institutions and government agencies have
collaborated to develop the foundation for new high-throughput wireless
LAN
technology."
	Bruce Kraemer, Chair of the IEEE 802.11n High Throughput Task
Group,
adds that "reaching this step is a significant milestone.  It
demonstrates
the success of the IEEE consensus process in bringing together the
diverse
interests of enterprises and consumers.  The technology to be
incorporated
into IEEE 802.11n will provide new capabilities to diverse industry
sectors
ranging from computer and consumer electronics to public access and
mobile
telephony."

About the IEEE 802.11 Working Group
The IEEE 802.11 Working Group on Wireless Local Area Networks has
completed
10 projects since 1999 that have continued the development and evolution
of
the IEEE 802.11 WirelessLANR Standard for Wireless Local Area Networks.
The
group currently has 520 individual voting members contributing to 11
active
projects.  For more information on this working group, see

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 information on
IEEE-SA

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.
