Current Status

The IEEE 802.15 Terahertz Interest Group has prepared a "Call for Applications" document and is currently working on a "Technical Expectations Document". We are soliciting and hearing, contributions that address numerous THz issues in order to follow and evaluate the progress made in THz technology in regards to the 5 criteria. It is expected that in 2012 the process of a transition of the interest group into a Study Group and eventually to a Task Group will start. The final goal of this process will be the creation of one or several THz communication standards associated with differing applications.
