An Introduction to the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee
The North Jersey ComSoc Chapter, North Jersey Computer Chapter, and NY Section ComSoc Chapter present speaker Paul Nikolich on the topic of 802 LAN/MAN Standards.
The IEEE Computer Society's 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee has been developing LAN/MAN technical standards for Physical and Media Access Control interfaces since 1980 which have enabled ubiquitous data communications over wired (802.3 Ethernet) and wireless (802.11 Wireless LANs aka Wi-Fi) media that have changed the world. This talk will give a broad overview of the current technical standards development activities in IEEE 802 LMSC that will power the next generation of data communications infrastructure. Time will be reserved for Q&A after the talk. Additionally some information about how people can participate in standards committee, what skills are needed, and who can they contact in order to get involved or volunteer.
