Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Wireless Home Link System in Japan

High speed home networks may lead other high speed non-public networks (consumer communication networks) in this ten years. We find many high speed audio and visual machines in the home which should be connected each other and to personal computers by a home network. On the other hand, people´s work is rapidly changing to work including teleworking. Home is becoming a part of office which needs a high speed network to access to the Internet, broadcasting, home database and so on. IEEE1394 is a standard for high speed wired network in the home and should be extended to a wireless standard. Wireless 1394 discussed recently is shown in this paper.
