IEEE
802 STANDARDS AVAILABLE FOR
FREE DOWNLOAD !
The IEEE has made available IEEE
802
standards for free
download. Under this program, a standard may be
downloaded for free six
months after the initial publication of the standard. All
relevant IEEE
802.11 Standard, Amendments, and Recommended Practices are
listed.
ACCESS TO 802 DRAFT STANDARDS
Draft standards are available from a number of sources:
- If you are a voting 802.11 member, go to the members'
area and log in using the 802.11 members ID and password
supplied to you by the 802.11 officers. Contact Dorothy Stanley
if you have lost this. During an 802.11 session, attendees may access
802.11 draft standards from a local fileserver, regardless of their
membership status.
- If you are an active member of one of the other 802
groups, you may be able to access the 802.11 members' area
using the same credentials used to access your own group. If
this doesn't work, ask your group's Chair to request access
from the 802.11 Chair (Dorothy
Stanley).
- Draft IEEE standards are, from time to time, made
available for purchase using the IEEE
store or Techstreet.
IEEE STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT GUIDE

PAR, to
balloting to final draft, and beyond. It even includes, tutorials, and
online
forms of the various processes evolved. This site is recommended for
