NEW BROADBAND WIRELESS INTERNET FORUM SETS CHARTER FOR VOFDM
A new Broadband Wireless Internet Forum (BWIF) has been created to drive the
adoption of a single, unified broadband wireless access industry standard
based on Vector Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (VOFDM)
technology.  BWIF members agree to cross-license to other BWIF members, the
technologies required to implement the standard on a worldwide, royalty-free
basis.  Cisco Systems is contributing several patent-pending Broadband
Wireless intellectual property innovations based on VOFDM.  Broadcom
Corporation is also leading the group.  An open meeting will be held on July
26, 2000 in Denver, Colorado for interested parties.   The BWIF is organized
by the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (IEEE-ISTO).
