Current State of the Technology

• Stable 1.1 version of specifications

• Robust qualification program–34 BQBs–15 Certified test facilities

• 843 Qualified products–Many excellent point solutions

• Estimated 50 Million radios sold in 2002

1.1 Specifications

• Many products don’t work as well together as desirable or expected

• Not simple enough to setup–Five minute initiative

• Works for initial scenarios

Interoperable Prototypes

• Produce Prototypes at 0.9• Six month prototyping phase

–Could go longer if serious issues found

• Prototype may implement one or more new features–Must be 1.1 compatible

• Issues resolved during prototype rolled back into specification
