PISCATAWAY,
N.J., USA, 1 March 2004 The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA)
has issued a brochure that reviews two handbooks developed to
supplement the IEEE's recently published high-rate and low-rate
personal area network (PAN) standards, IEEE 802.15.3™ and
IEEE 802.15.4™. The handbooks are part of the IEEE Standards
Wireless Network Series.
One of the
handbooks, "Wireless Multimedia: A Guide to the IEEE 802.15.3™
Standard," addresses the untapped market for devices that
comply with this high-rate PAN standard. The volume explores potential
applications for the standard, including wireless keyboards, printers,
digital cameras, cordless phones and other business and consumer
devices. It also reviews the standard, presents implementation
examples, and the rationale behind the standard.
The other
handbook, "Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks: Enabling
Wireless Sensors with IEEE 802.15.4?," provides an in-depth
understanding of this standard for low-cost, low-power wireless
connectivity and it possibilities. It includes network layer functionality
not included in the standard, as well as implementation and system
design. Markets likely to be affected by the standard include
consumer electronics, personal healthcare, toys, games, and home
automation and security.
