About This Item
8802-11-2018/Amd3-2020 is a technical amendment for wireless LAN medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) specifications, focused on enhancements for very high throughput in Chinese millimeter wave frequency bands at 60 GHz and 45 GHz. It is relevant to communication, networking and broadcast technologies, as well as computing and processing systems that rely on high-speed wireless links. For engineering teams and compliance reviews, this standard helps define a consistent basis for design, testing, and interoperability.
Overview of 8802-11-2018/Amd3-2020
This standard amends the wireless LAN framework to address very high throughput operation in the 60 GHz and 45 GHz millimeter wave bands used in China. The scope is centered on MAC and PHY behavior, so it is useful for implementations that need alignment between frame handling, radio operation, and link performance. 8802-11-2018/Amd3-2020 is therefore a practical reference for suppliers and engineers working on high-frequency WLAN equipment that must meet defined technical requirements.
Typical use cases
Typical use cases include wireless LAN equipment designed for short-range, high-capacity links in millimeter wave environments, such as access points, client devices, and embedded network modules. The amendment may also support product development for systems that require controlled high-throughput connectivity across computing and communications hardware. 8802-11-2018/Amd3-2020 is especially relevant where channel behavior, PHY characteristics, and MAC operation must be considered together for regional deployment and evaluation.
Why it matters
This standard matters because it gives a defined technical basis for very high throughput WLAN design in specific Chinese millimeter wave bands. Using 8802-11-2018/Amd3-2020 can help reduce ambiguity during product specification, procurement, and conformance testing, while supporting more consistent interoperability across implementations. It also helps engineering teams manage risk by tying performance expectations to a recognized amendment rather than informal assumptions about high-frequency wireless behavior.
