IEEE TASK GROUP ADVANCES STANDARDS PROCESS FOR HIGHER-SPEED 802.11 WIRELESS
LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
PISCATAWAY, N.J., __ January 2006 - The task group responsible for
developing the IEEE 802.11n project has voted to accept, as a baseline, 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 (184/0/4) to confirm
the joint proposal as a baseline. 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. For information on IEEE-SA see: http://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.
