IEEE Ratifies 802.15.3c, Multi-gigabit speed Wireless PAN Standard
Amendment to IEEE 802.15.3 Standard Enables
High Rate WPANs Using 60GHz Spectrum for Multi-gigabit Wireless Communications
PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, xx October 2009 The IEEE today announced that its
Standards Board has ratified IEEE 802.15.3c"-2009, Standard for Information
Technology-Telecommunications and Information Exchange between
systems-Local and Metropolitan networks-Specific requirements-Part 15.3:
Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY)
Specifications for High Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs):
Millimeter-wave based Alternative Physical Layer Extension Amendment.
The IEEE 802.15.3 standard defines how to design interoperable WPAN
equipment that provides a variety of capabilities including a wide range of
data rates, ad-hoc connectivity, video streaming, quality of service,
reliability, and security.
The 203-page 802.15.3c amendment, using a 60 GigaHertz Millimeter-wave
based Alternative Physical Layer Extension, enables rollout of the first
IEEE 802 radios that deliver multi-gigabit throughput for consumer
electronics and other applications while ensuring co-existence with legacy
and future systems.
This was an extraordinarily wide-ranging technical challenge that required
a concentrated and sustained effort on the part of a variety of
participants. When we started in 2005, many of the technologies addressed
in 802.15.3c were university research topics and had not been
implemented,said Bob Heile, Chair of the IEEE Wireless PAN Working Group.
The performance improvements achieved via IEEE 802.15.3c enables the use of
wireless links for new and significant consumer applications. The
ratification of this amendment sets the stage for a wave of innovation and
the creation of new market opportunities.
Added Paul Nikolich, IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee Chairman:
Everyone involved in the 802.15.3c process deserves congratulations. This
is a key data communications milestone and a good example of the consensus
building environment 802 provides for its participants. The amendment will
enable a dramatic leap forward in WPAN performance.

About IEEE 802
The IEEE 802(r) LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops LAN and metropolitan
area network (MAN) standards. The most widely used standards are for the
Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, Wireless MAN,
Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs. An individual working group provides the
focus for each area. Decisions by the IEEE 802 task groups and working
groups will shape communications for years to come. For more information
