About This Item
802.15.3c-2009 is a millimeter-wave wireless standard for the 802.15.3 family, addressing an alternative physical layer extension for short-range communication and processing systems. It is relevant where higher-frequency radio links are used to support fast data transfer, tighter implementation control, and interoperability within communication, networking, and broadcast technologies. As a superseded document, it remains useful for understanding legacy design choices, compliance references, and technical comparison work.
About 802.15.3c-2009
This standard defines an amendment within the 802.15.3 specification focused on millimeter-wave-based physical layer behavior. It is aimed at the technical details that shape how devices transmit and receive at these frequencies, including the signaling framework used to support short-range links. For engineers, buyers, and compliance teams, 802.15.3c-2009 provides a clear reference for evaluating implementations, interpreting requirements, and comparing related wireless products or documents.
Where is 802.15.3c-2009 used?
802.15.3c-2009 is typically applied in equipment and system designs that use millimeter-wave radio for close-range, high-capacity wireless communication. That can include consumer electronics, embedded communication modules, and specialized networking devices where the physical layer must be matched to compact hardware and controlled radio conditions. It is also useful in technical documentation, product evaluation, and engineering workflows that need a defined reference for this part of the 802.15.3 ecosystem.
Importance in practice
In practice, 802.15.3c-2009 helps teams work from a consistent technical baseline when designing, reviewing, or testing millimeter-wave wireless systems. It supports procurement and compliance decisions by clarifying what the relevant physical layer amendment covers and how a product should be assessed against it. For legacy equipment and documentation, the standard can reduce ambiguity, improve comparison across implementations, and support more reliable verification of performance expectations.
