IEEE 802.11™-enabled technology, often referred to as Wi-Fi, underpins the technology we use everyday—from virtually anywhere. This animated video shows the convenience wireless technology, based on IEEE 802.11, offers us in our daily lives.
Ethernet, the Networking Standard: More Mature, More Powerful
Where the whole world is going with Ethernet
Many people, especially technology historians, often ponder “Where would the world be without Ethernet?” Now, such a rhetorical question typically has no answer because you cannot rewind time, remove Ethernet from …
Introduction
At the end of the twentieth century, the massive proliferation of the Internet initiated a revolution in our everyday lives. Time-consuming and complex processes like booking a flight became easy. Using e-mail instead of letters printed out on paper helped speed our way of doing …
The IEEE 802.11ah Task Group (TG) is developing a standard specification for targeting the Internet of Things (IoT) and extended range (ER) applications. The TG started the standardization activity in November 2010, and is currently in the last phase of the IEEE ballot procedure. The …
I. Introduction
IEEE standards play a role from smart cities to smart devices. Our standards drive “the functionality, capabilities and interoperability of a wide range of products and services that transform the way people live, work and communicate.” [1] What does smart mean? There is no …
