doc.: IEEE /076r0 Submission 3 Slide 24 February, 2003 Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc WiMedia’s Mission Statement “To promote wireless multimedia connectivity and interoperability between devices in a personal area network.”

doc.: IEEE /076r0 Submission 4 Slide 24 February, 2003 Glyn Roberts, STMicroelectronics, Inc Why a New Wireless Standard?  No previous wireless standard has been optimized for multimedia. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and others include core optimizations (down to the MAC & PHY) for their target markets.  A Multimedia solution needs to have: simplicity of use advanced QoS low cost (low complexity) support long battery life sufficient data rate and spatial capacity a scalable security platform
