Support for home-grown WLAN standard www.chinaview.cn 2004-04-08 14:01:11 BEIJING, April 8 (Xinhuanet) -- China has made significant progress towards the implementation of a home-made wireless local area network (WLAN) standard with the releases of the first batch of products compatible with the Chinese standard. "The fact that a standard gets supports of products is already major progress for us," said Liu Chaoyang, spokesman for the Broadband Wireless IP Standard working group (BWIPS), a major player pushing for the Chinese WLAN authentification and privacy infrastructure (WAPI) standard. Liu said in an interview that China IWNCOMM Co Ltd, which develops the WAPI protocol, will release the first wireless network card in compliance with the Chinese standard today in Beijing. IWNCOMM is expected to unveil three network cards and other devices including access points. The release of the first WAPI-compatible network card means Chinese companies have succeeded in developing home-made WLAN hardware, a critical step to promote the Chinese standard. news.xinhuanet.com
