  9. HomeRFTM Position • The HomeRF WG is interested in continuing the open dialogue with the WPAN SG, in particular with the emerging HomeRF Lite activities • The WG is open to investigating the possibility of the WPAN SG “standardizing” a version of their SWAP-CA implementation, or the emerging HomeRF Lite technology • Feedback from the SG’s review of the specification will be presented to the WG at their next steering committee meeting Tim Blaney, Commcepts

  10. HomeRFTM Lite’s Mission Statement To bring about the existence of a broad range of interoperable consumer devices by establishing open industry specifications for unlicensed, untethered peripheral, control and entertainment devices requiring the lowest cost and lowest power consumption communications between compliant devices anywhere in and around the home Tim Blaney, Commcepts
