Current movement within ETST BRAN
In September 2003 meeting, there was a presentation from a BROADWAY rep. to create a working group within ETSI BRAN to study the extension of existing WLANs and WPANs in the 60GHz band. (doc# : bran34d018)
In September BRAN meeting, IEEE mm-WIG has been introduced.
European frequency issues are under investigation for next BRAN meeting.
Following companies have already expressed their support for the creation of 60GHz working group in BRAN (Motorola, France Telecom, Intracom, Thomson Multimedia, CEA LETI, IMST, TNO)
