Wireless Working Group  Established by C63® in 2006 at the request of the TCB Council.  C63/SC-1/WWG charged with developing voluntary compliance standards for testing both licensed and unlicensed transmitters  The procedures for determining compliance of both licensed and unlicensed transmitters have not been well documented, or are scattered throughout of plethora of documents (rules, KDB’s, interpretation letters, etc.)  As a result of WWG work, C63.10 (2013) was published and is expected to be used by the FCC for testing unlicensed transmitters.  Work on C63.26 began about 2 years ago.
