Dear All,
'The Innovation Journey of Wi-FiŽ' to be highlighted at IEEE-SIIT 2013.
IEEE-SIIT, the 8th International Conference on Standardization and
Innovation in Information Technology, will meet 24-26 September in
Sophia-Antipolis, France.
The keynote address, 'The Innovation Journey of Wi-Fi', will be given by
Vic Hayes, nicknamed 'the Father of Wi-Fi'. Vic was one of the persons
responsible for establishing the IEEE 802.11 Working Group for Wireless
LANs in 1990. Thanks to his Chairmanship, the European authorities were
persuaded of the need for radio spectrum for wireless LANs in Europe,
resulting in the assignment of the 83.5 MHz in the 2.4 GHz area and 475
MHz in the 5 GHz area. Vic also established and chaired the Regulatory
Subcommittee within the Wi-Fi Alliance.
In addition, the conference offers a varied and intersting programme for
all those with an interest in Standardisation adn Innovation in the ICT
sector.

Hope to meet many of you there.
