IEEE 802.24 Vertical Applications TAG


IEEE 802.24 Vertical Applications TAG Scope

The IEEE 802.24 Vertical Applications Technical Advisory Group (TAG) focuses on application categories that use IEEE 802 technology and are of interest to multiple IEEE 802 WGs and have been assigned to IEEE 802.24 by the IEEE Executive Committee.

For those application categories, IEEE 802.24:

NOTE: The IEEE 802 technologies are applied to support the vertical applications. IEEE 802.24 determines what makes the horizontal technologies supportive of the applications. IEEE 802.24 also determines what enhancements to the horizontal technologies would improve their ability to support the applications.

Examples of potential vertical application categories are: Smart Grid, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Smart Homes, Smart Cities, eHealth

Completed Documents


Frequency Table:  The 802.18 Radio Regulatory TAG, and the 802.19 Coexistence Working Group jointely developed a document that provides tables of frequency and wavelength ranges of IEEE 802 wireless standards.  It is a living document and will be updated periodically as IEEE 802 wireless standards are developed and updated. The document can be downloaded at this link.


802.24 TAG Updates

Ongoing IEEE 802 Strategic Initiative: 802.24 will continue its outreach to representatives of vertical markets interested in communication standardization relevant to their market and appropriate for IEEE 802. The 802.24 TAG offers a venue for stakeholders from vertical markets to identify standards gaps and initiate standardization. New participants with interest in standardization project for vertical applications are welcomed.
