Subject: Liaison statement about new Wireless LAN Interworking Group (WIG)
Dear Harald,
It is with great
pleasure to inform you that MMAC HSWA, ETSI Project BRAN and IEEE 802.11 have
jointly created a group to work on the issues related to 3G and other public
access networks interworking. The group has been given the name WIG (Wireless
LAN Interworking Group).
WIG has adopted the following
scope:
-
To be an integral part in the production of a generically
applicable interworking standard for WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) and
other public networks. The standard is to be applicable for IEEE 802.11 family,
MMAC HiSWAN family and ETSI HIPERLAN/2
-
To be the point of resolution for ETSI, IEEE and MMAC on issues
related to interworking with WWAN and other public networks.
To be the single point of contact for the above-mentioned WLAN standards on questions related to interworking with WWAN and other public networks.
The WLAN Interworking Group will deploy a joint email reflector given
below and is available for subscription. This reflector is currently being
maintained by ETSI/BRAN. The document areas will be open for members of IEEE,
ETSI and MMAC only. If you are interested in these documents we then request
information about how we can share relevant documents between our
organisations.
Subscription can be made via the "E-mail Archives - BRAN” window in the BRAN part of the ETSI portal http://portal.etsi.org/bran (click on the +/- icon to join the list) or by sending a request to BRANsupport@etsi.fr
