This Month's Featured Product
Are You Still Using Draft 802.11n?
Are you still using the draft version of the IEEE 802.11n™ standard? The long-awaited final version of the standard has now been approved and is now available for purchase from IEEE.
The approved IEEE 802.11n standard includes several new features which optimize the performance of wireless networks. It also maintains interoperability with all previous versions of the IEEE 802.11 standards.
With shipments of IEEE 802.11n products expected to double in the next two years, this is your chance to make sure that your devices comply to the full range of specifications in the approved standard.

Publications
Improve Safety with New Book on Low-Voltage Systems
Everything you need to know to minimize accident rates and ensure safety can be found in the new book, "Electrical Safety of Low-Voltage Systems" by Massimo A. G. Mitolo.
Through comprehensive explanations, mathematical analysis, and circuit diagrams, "Electrical Safety of Low-Voltage Systems" provides the latest bonding and grounding strategies. You'll learn how to identify and quantify hazards, prevent faults and overvoltages, properly size conductors, and develop sound earthing systems.
This essential guide also includes details on complying with current codes -- including Article 250 of the National Electrical Code -- as well as working in high-risk locations and testing system components.
Inside, you'll find relevant information on IEEE and IEC standards, low-voltage fault loops in different types of grounding systems, and many other topics designed to minimize accident rates and ensure low-voltage system safety.
Don't put yourself at risk -- order your copy of this essential new book!
New IEEE 802.1Q Amendment Covers Fault Management
IEEE has published a new amendment to the IEEE 802.1ag™ standard. The amendment, IEEE 802.1Qaw™, extends the connectivity fault management capabilities introduced in IEEE Std 802.1ag to include tools to facilitate diagnosis and isolation of faults sensitive to, or caused by, particular data patterns in frames transmitted by a service user.

Languages for Software Design Descriptions Detailed in New Standard
A new standard from IEEE describes software designs and establishes the information content and organization of a software design description (SDD).
The standard, IEEE 1016™, "IEEE Standard for Information Technology-Systems Design-Software Design Descriptions," has been created for application in any situation -- commercial, scientific or military -- where software runs on digital computers. It does not require the use of any particular design languages, but establishes requirements on the design languages for use in an SDD.
Situations where IEEE 1016 can be applied include traditional software construction activities, when design leads to code, and reverse engineering situations when a design description is recovered from an existing implementation.

2012 NESC Preprint Now Available!
The next edition of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) won't be published for more than two years, but now is your chance to review the proposed changes that will be incorporated into this critical standard.
Now available from IEEE, the "Preprint Proposals for the 2012 Edition of the National Electrical Safety Code" provides the full text of each proposed revision to the 2007 edition of the NESC. It will also include the recommendations from the subcommittees that have cognizance of the rules addressed by the change proposals.
The Preprint is your opportunity to review the preliminary recommended changes to NESC and gives you the ability to submit comments based on these recommendations.
Don't miss out on this opportunity - order now!
