802.20

802.20 definition - computer

A working group from the IEEE that is expected to develop a mobile wireless standard similar to 802.16e. Although the 802.20 group was established before 802.16e was standardized, it is expected to yield a complementary technology, not a competing one. For example, people walking and riding in cars may use 802.16e, while users in high-speed trains might require 802.20. See 802.16.
