January 2001 doc. : IEEE 802. 11 -01/035 January 12, 2001 Message from FCC To: Stuart Kerry (Chair - 802. 11) Cc: IEEE 802. 11 WG members, Bob Heile (Chair - 802. 15), Roger Marks (Chair - 802. 16), Judy Gorman (IEEE-SA Standards Managing Director) Fr: Jim Carlo (Chair - 802) I received a call today from a high level FCC official, regarding our efforts to develop a 22 Mbps Spread Spectrum Wireless enhanced standard and the meetings next week. He urged that the working group should select the best technology. It is not clear whether any of the proposed technologies (single carrier or multiple carrier) raise significantly different regulatory issues. The FCC is willing to work with IEEE 802. 11 g to address any regulatory issues with the selected technology. I will not be at the wireless meetings next week, but look forward to hearing about positive progress towards standardization within all IEEE 802. 11 activities and will see you in March.
