The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops and maintains networking standards and recommended practices for local, metropolitan, and other area networks, using an open and accredited process, and advocates them on a global basis. Currently, the IEEE 802 family of standards consists of 71 published standards with 54 under development. The most widely used standards are for Ethernet, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, Wireless MAN, Wireless Coexistence, Media Independent Handover Services, and Wireless RAN.
IEEE 802 also coordinates with other national and international standards bodies, including ISO which has published certain IEEE 802 standards as international standards. Moreover, the IEEE 802 LMSC and working groups garner strong international participation with ongoing meetings and sessions being held throughout the world. Next meeting of the group will be held in Baltimore USA between 15-20th of January.
Recently IEEE 802 Wireless Working Groups prepared a Wireless Standards Table of Frequency Ranges spreadsheet. The spreadsheet includes frequency and wavelength ranges of the published IEEE 802 wireless standards and ongoing projects. I am proud to have contributed its development as a co-author.
