The IEEE standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a major contributor to IEEE, the world's
largest technical professional society. The IEEE-SA promotes the engineering process
by creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and applying
knowledge about electro- and information technologies
and sciences.
For over a century, the cornerstone of the IEEE-SA is
its established standards development program - a program
that offers balance, openness, due process, and consensus.
Each year, the IEEE-SA conducts over 200 standards ballots,
a process by which proposed standards are voted upon for
technical reliability and soundness. In addition to producing the prominent 802® Standards
for Local and Metropolitan Area Network Wireless,
IEEE-SA also develops the standards for:
Intelligent highway systems
and vehicular technology
Distributed generation
renewable energy
Voting Equipment Electronic
Data Interchange
Rechargeable Batteries for PCs
Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorder Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Issuing and Management
Components Architecture for Encrypted Shared Media Organic Field Effect Technology
As a membership organization, IEEE-SA thrives because
of the technical diversity of its 20,000 plus participants,
consisting of technology leaders from around the globe,
including individuals in corporations, organizations,
universities, and government agencies. Through their collective
knowledge, members contribute to the integrity and value
of IEEE standards.
