Wireless LAN Standard propagandization Meeting held

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.
