Broadband Center of Excellence. 22.https://scholars.unh.edu/bcoe/22Hello,I saw some good news last month coming out of the Federal Communications Commissionin Washington, D.C. The Commission has agreed to set aside bandwidth for 5G technology.My colleague Paul Nikolich has more to say about 5G based on IEEE 802 meetings hechaired last week. And, closer to home, we have a report on broadband in Coos County,N.H., from colleagues within UNH’s New Hampshire Broadband Mapping and PlanningProgramming. I believe that progress is being made, but more work is needed.IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC)July 2016 Plenary Session by Paul NikolichAs the IEEE 802 LMSC Chairman, I just ﬁnished leading approximately eight hundredinternational IEEE 802 participant/volunteers in San Diego 24-29 July 2016 to progressa wide range of ﬁfty data communications standards development activities. Thetechnology areas that 802 standardizes span across Local Area Network (LAN) topicssuch as security, bridging, Time Sensitive Networks, Ethernet, Wireless LANs, TVWhitespace, and IoT. Some interesting work that began last week: starting standardsfor long distances over a single twisted pair at 10 megabit per second for industrial andautomotive applications in the 802.3 Ethernet Working Group, and for a low power longrange radio interface for IoT applications in the 802.11 Wireless LAN Working Group.The 802 LMSC Executive Committee concluded work on its investigation into 5G nextgeneration Advanced Packet Networking (APN) with the following results:a) many current 802 standards already meet APN use case requirementsb) 802 will conduct market research to gather APN requirements from operatorsand end usersc) 802 may collaborate with external standards bodies such as IETF and 3GPPRadio Access Networks (RAN) in the long run (5+years.)IEEE 802 LMSC meets in plenary session three times a year (March, July, November) andin interim session three times a year (January, May, September). The next plenary sessionwill be held 5-11 November in San Antonio, TX. More details are available atWWW.IEEE802.ORG.Coos County BroadbandIn Coos County, NH, 25,820 residents representing just over 78% of the 2010 populationof 33,055, have broadband access. An additional 5,587 residents, or almost 17% of thepopulation, have internet access at speeds that are not considered broadband, while1,648 residents, or 5% of the population, have no access at all. While progress is beingmade to improve access, Internet Service Providers, businesses, decision makers, andconcerned citizens need to work together to expand access to ensure the tools areavailable for creating and maintaining jobs and for supporting public safety, education,healthcare, tourism, business, and the overall quality of life.In addition, not all residents of Coos County who have access to aﬀordable broadbandservices take advantage of the opportunities. Many small businesses and residents areunaware of the wide range of applications, information, communication and servicesavailable on-line. New Hampshire needs to continue to coordinate, promote, and sponsortrainings for residents, businesses, and organizations on the beneﬁts of broadband usage.Increased skills and knowledge of broadband applications encourages broadband useand will lead to a well-educated, prosperous, healthy, and a safe New Hampshire.
