Principles of Standardisation

• Any standard serves 3 objectives :creating value in the WISP network, increase roaming traffic and reduce implementation costs,

• Standards are not related to any particular technology if this is detriment to future roaming possibilities,

• Standards of Pass-One are related to the services provided by WISPs and hence aim at harmonising the user experience,

• WLAN vendors will implement certain standard specifications and will therefore be involved in the process,

• Standards are however not vendor related,

• The standardisation process follow a methodology based on priority, value generation and market needs.
