FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 10:35:22 -0500 From: Mos Kaveh <mos at ece.umn.edu> To: gene0024 at UMN.EDU Cc: moon at ece.umn.edu, harjani at ece.umn.edu, georgios at ece.umn.edu, tewfik at ece.umn.edu, alouini at ece.umn.edu, mos at ece.umn.edu Subject: 802.11b Matt, Thank you for your letter of August 19, 2002 informing me of the activities of the Twin Cities Wireless Users Group and asking me to help with questions regarding propagation at 2.4 GHz, and performance and legal issues related to 802.11b. While I have general knowledge about some of these issues, I don't have the necessary specific expertise you are looking for. I am copying this message to my colleagues Profs. Moon and Harjani (who have founded a local company working on 802.11), and Profs. Giannakis, and Tewfik who also have interests and work in this arena. Perhaps one of them can be of help. In any case, the kinds of issues that you are considering and the backbone system that you are envisioning sound very interesting. I wonder whether we could have one of your meetings on these topics held in the ECE Department so some of us and our students could attend. Please drop by my office to discuss if this is of interest.
