CWINS / Wireless LAN Research Laboratory: Technical Objectives



The Wireless LANs Technology Group will operate within CWINS, concentrating on indoor wireless LANs and building-to-building bridging systems. While initial technological interest will be focused on infrared, the ISM bands, and ETSI 300.328 bandwidth for Europe (and similar bands in the rest of the world), unlicensed PCS and suitable licensed bandwidth will also be considered within the scope of the WLTG. An experimental testbed for performance monitoring of the wireless LANs and wireless bridges will be developed in the form of a modern wireless classroom with a campus-wide wireless access. This project will provide an example of a successful application and increases the awareness of the benefits of wireless technology.

 Initial technical projects anticipated for the WLTG include:

In addition, the center will focus on the following projects of general benefit to the wireless LAN industry:
