4G in 2.3GHz, Korean Style >> Asian Telcos to Standardise US Wireless Platforms 04/06/03 CommsDay Asia Japanese, Chinese and South Korean telecom interests are combining efforts to force standardisation on the emerging world of 4G wireless broadband in the 2.3GHz band. According to a report carried by the Korean Etimes Web site, KT Corp., China Telecom, Softbank Broadband of Japan, Samsung and LG have agreed to form an international standards consortium. A formal agreement is expected to be concluded this month. The first goal of the consortium is to conduct and evaluate a trial of four separate wireless broadband technologies in three suburbs of Seoul. The trial will test compatibility and interoperability between ArrayComm’s iBurst, Flarion’s flash- OFDM, Navini’s Ripwave and Broadstorm’s Broadair. The consortium plans to extend its membership to other countries including Canada and the United States. However, the report also said that the consortium’s immediate goal is to take a lead in creating standards so it can secure a global advantage for founding members. << - Eric -

Hi Eric L., What happened was the 802.20 Task Group met all week in March IEEE, and people got voting rights by attending eight 2-hour sessions over four days. The 802.16e people changed their sessions so they could also attain voting rights in 802.20. When 802.20 voted on Officers Thursday evening, they found 184 people had attained voting rights, and the people running the 802.20 Study Group (Flarion/Arraycom) were defeated by a combination of interests including 3G and 802.16 people. On that Friday, the 802 exec refused to certify the ballot results and named 802 vice-chair Geoff Thompson to run .20 through the week of July 20th. 802.11/15/16/18/19/20 held a May interim meeting in Dallas, and the .20 sessions were run by the Study Group officers. Undoubtedly the situation will be sorted during the July meeting, and the .20 voters appear evenly split. petere (voter in 802.11 since 1997)
