New Draft Amendment to IEEE 802.11n Published
The fourth draft of an amendment to the IEEE 802.11n standard is now available. The amendment defines modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) so that modes of operation can be enabled that are capable of much higher throughputs, with a maximum throughput of at least 100Mb/s, as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP).
IEEE P802.11n/D4.00, "IEEE Draft Standard for Information Technology-Telecommunications and information exchange between systems-Local and metropolitan area networks-Specific requirements-Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications: Amendment 4: Enhancements for Higher Throughput".

NESC Product Line Listing
Welcome to the National Electrical Safety Code® Zone—a one-stop resource for National Electrical Safety Code information.
Published exclusively by the IEEE, the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC®) sets the ground rules for practical safeguarding of persons during the installation, operation, or maintenance of electric supply and communication Lines and associated equipment.
The NESC contains the basic provisions that are considered necessary for the safety of employees and the public under the specified conditions.
We hope this zone answers many of your questions about the National Electrical Safety Code—including its development and implementation.

IEEE Working Group Announces Updated 1647-2008 e Language Standard
May 19, 2008
IEEE has approved a revision to IEEE 1647, Standard for the Functional Verification Language e. The e language was first ratified as a standard in 2006 and has historically been a powerful high-level verification language for hardware designers. Over time the standard has continued to evolve and add many new technology advancements.

IEEE 2600™, "Standard For Information Technology: Hardcopy System And Device Security"
The Computer security has become a top priority for corporations and government agencies around the world. But networked printers and other hardcopy peripherals (such as copiers and multifunction devices) remain vulnerable to attack, thereby compromising even the most comprehensive security protocols.
To address this situation, the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) recently approved IEEE 2600™, "Standard for Information Technology: Hardcopy System and Device Security." This standard defines security requirements (all aspects of security including but not limited to authentication, authorization, privacy, integrity, device management, physical security and information security) for manufacturers, users and others on the selection, installation, configuration and usage of hardcopy devices and systems; including printers, copiers, and multifunction devices. Issues addressed by the standard encompass authentication, authorization and the privacy of data sent to and from devices and residing on them, as well as such areas as data integrity and device management.

IEEE to Host Free Workshop on Use of Technology
Standards to Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Workshop to Address Needs
of Power Generation and Electricity Sectors
June 2008
The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) will host a free workshop
on the use of technology standards to help lower greenhouse gases and
fight global warming.
The event, "IEEE Workshop on Standards to Help Mitigate Greenhouse Gas
Emissions, Global Warming, and their Impact on the Environment," will
be held Friday, 13 June, 2008 at the IEEE Operations Center, 445 Hoes
Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854. It will take place from 8:30am - 2:30pm EDT.
The objectives of this workshop include developing an understanding of
the current standards environment relative to greenhouse gas emissions
and global warming and related issues, and determining the structure and
goals for an IEEE-SA study group to explore further actions in collaboration
with other key organizations within and outside of IEEE. These actions
June include but are not limited to definition of future standards projects.
Topics to be addressed and participant discussion are expected to include:
ISO standards in TC 207 (Environmental Management) and TEAM (Technology
Early Action Measures, Canada) documents for the power generation/electricity
sector
Energy efficiency and metrics for energy consumption of network equipment
Carbon credits accounting/trading
ISO TC 211 (Geographic Information and Geomatics) and its activities in
measurements for climate change. There is no charge to attend this workshop,
but registration is required.

Joint ITU / IEEE Workshop
Global Standards, Local Benefits: The
IEEE Standards Association
19 - 20 June 2008
Geneva, Switzerland
ITU-T and the IEEE will hold a joint workshop on Next Generation Optical
Access Systems, 19-20 June in Geneva. The workshop is the third in partnership
with IEEE and follows the Kaleidoscope event in June and the workshop on
Carrier-class Ethernet held 31 June- 1 June 2007.
The event will review the work areas within ITU-T and IEEE 802.3 on the
development of broadband optical access network standards. The relevant
standards groups are ITU-T Q2/15 on optical access network systems and
IEEE P802.3av Task Force on 10Gb/s PHY for EPON. This workshop will cover
the network evolution scenario, service requirements, the transport mechanism
and the physical layer for next generation optical access systems. The
event will focus on the opportunities for further collaboration in the
development of optical access network system standards.
