[802SEC]
Daleep:
IEEE 802.3 has been very lightly engaged with Industrial Ethernet
efforts, but I was unaware of activity with wireless in industrial
applications. I'm coping this response to the LMSC EC reflector for
information to the 802 wireless goups.

Wireless standard for industrial automation
The ISA-SP100 committee and interested parties met to discuss technology
and standards development logistics this week in Research Triangle Park,
N.C.
The group intends to establish standards, recommended practices,
technical reports, and related information that will define procedures
for implementing wireless systems in the automation and control
environment with a focus on the field level.
"The technology is ready," said committee co-chair Wayne Manges of Oak
Ridge National Lab. "It has come out of the cell phone industry, the
federal government, and from commercial networking businesses."
Compliance with the committee's guidance will improve manufacturing and
control system deployment as well as identify vulnerabilities.
Co-chair Richard Sanders of ExxonMobil said, "I'm here to make sure
users' voices are heard. The reason we participate is to make sure we
get what we want. If you want to say something but don't want to scream,
let me know, and I'll make sure you're heard."
ISA-SP100 will address wireless manufacturing and control systems in the
following areas:
* Environment in which the wireless technology is
deployed.
* Technology life cycle for wireless equipment and
systems.
* Application of wireless technology.
The wireless environment includes the definitio
