IEEE 802.16 Task Group 1

IEEE 802.16's Task Group 1 led the development of IEEE Standard 802.16 ("Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems" for 10-66 GHz). Following successful ballot, the standard was approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board on 6 December 2001. See the press release for more details. Until publication, the approved draft remains available in the IEEE Catalog. Individuals with the IEEE 802.16 member password may obtain the draft from the 802.16 private web site.
