Wireless
standards made specific Specifications for the emission power of
the wireless products and number of channels according to the Wireless
Management Bill; also the standard reinforced and regulated the
application requirements of the wireless LAN security. It is suitable
for the independent wireless LAN equipment (wireless access point,
wireless network adapter, wireless router, authentication server,
access control server, wireless gateway, etc.), the informative
equipments that is integrated and build-in wireless LAN (PC, laptop
PC, PDA, wireless LAN telephone and vidicon, digital camera, projection
machine, TV, DVD, fridge and other electronic products) and the
independent or embedded soft module that could supply wireless LAN
correlated function.
With the development of wireless market and the application of informative
process, together with the flaws of the present wireless LAN international
standard, the wireless security had become the greatest obstacle
for the entry of wireless network to the informative application
field. In foreign countries, the fast development of wireless network
market has brought security hidden trouble for the traditional line
with new technology, and greatly restricts the spread and application
of wireless LAN in enterprises, operators and government. It could
be seen from the foreign market that many technology mechanism co-exist
in the initial process of the wireless LAN, equipment operators
do as they like in the realization of the security of the wireless
equipment, so the wireless LAN users could not gain the real effective
security guarantee as the wired network, also the connecting could
not really achieved on the basis of secure communication. For this
situation, wireless LAN standard took into consideration protecting
the present investment of operators, and also the wireless LAN users’
benefit, security of the standard, the specification of the wireless
market and other point of view that suits our country’s situation
to made modification and consummatation.
It took 2 more years for the Wireless LAN standard from drafting
to the coming out; during the course the “Broadband Wireless
IP Standard Working Group ”and correlated organizations gained
great support of the funds of the Ministry of Information and Industry,
Science Department 863, China Invention Reform Committee High-tech
Industry Showing Project, Natural and Scientific Funds of China
and other national project. For the past 2 years, the standard working
group saw from the requirements of market and industry, followed
the experience of foreigners worked out the standard key technology
that is suit for the users of WLAN of our country with the principle
of openness.
The coming out of the two national standards made great significance
for the hotspot of the informative industry—wireless LAN market,
and its benign development and the spread of the information of
enterprise and electronic government and other key application fields. |
