Activities

Wireless Standard for TV White Spaces  

TC48 tasked TG1 to standardise a PHY, MAC and coexistence mechanisms for unused TV spectrum in the UHF Television bands, the first edition standard is available as ECMA-392.

Wireless high rate communication in the unlicensed 60 GHz band.

TC48 developed ECMA-387 High Rate 60 GHz PHY, MAC and HDMI PAL for short range unlicensed communications. The Standard provides high rate Wireless Personal Area Network (including Point-to-Point) transport for both bulk data transfer and multimedia streaming.

The Ecma General Assembly approved this 1^st edition in December 2008 for publication as ECMA-387 and subsequent submission to JTC 1’s fast-track procedure. The standard was published in 2009 as ISO/IEC 13156.

High Rate UWB

The third editions of the UWB standards which enhance support for Bluetooth protocols were adopted in December 2008 and submitted to ISO/IEC JTC 1’s fast-track adoption procedure. These standards were published as ISO/IEC 26907 and 26908 in November 2009.

In addition, following the 2-month circulation for comments in JTC 1/Sub-committee 06, the assigned number registration procedure standard in ECMA-381 is now also being balloted under JTC 1’s fast-track adoption procedure to enable Ecma International to serve as the ISO/IEC registration authority of assigned numbers for UWB implementers.
