High-level Delegation From IEEE Standards Association Visiting India to Take the India Engagement to the Next Level
NEW DELHI, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Delegation to Lead Workshops in Bangalore and Meet Policy Makers/Industry Leaders
Between July 22nd - August 7th to Forge Partnerships That Catalyze Technology Innovation
in the Indian Market
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), a globally recognized standards-development
organization within IEEE, today announced that a high-level delegation of its senior
executives and industry professionals behind some of its key standards initiatives will be
in India from July 22nd to August 7th. The team will meet with policy makers and industry
leaders during this visit besides leading two workshops in Bangalore. Part of the team is
also spending a full day at Puducherry visiting Power Grid Corporation of India's first of
its kind Smart City project to explore synergies from a standards perspective. Key members
of the visiting delegation are:
- Wael William Diab, senior director at Broadcom & vice-chair, IEEE
802.3(TM) Ethernet working group
- Bruce Kraemer, Marvell Semiconductor & chair, IEEE 802.11(TM) working group
(Wi-Fi/WLAN standards)
- Samuel Siacca, CEO, SCS Consulting & chair, IEEE P1686(TM) and IEEE PC
37.240(TM) working groups
- Robert LaBelle, senior director, Strategic Innovation and Standards Solutions,
IEEE-SA
- Karen McCabe, senior director, Collaboration and Consensus Community, IEEE-SA
- Ravi Subramaniam, technical director, IEEE Conformity Assessment Program
(ICAP)
- Bill Ash, strategic program manager, IEEE-SA
- Srikanth Chandrasekaran, senior standards manager, IEEE
According to Karen McCabe, senior director, Collaboration and Consensus Community,
IEEE-SA, "We had a successful outreach with a series of workshops and meetings in 2011 and
another when the IEEE-SA BoG (Board of Governors) visited India in 2012. The 2013 outreach
is among the most extensive and will help foster increased collaboration with our multiple
key stakeholders here and help take the engagement with Indian market to the next level.
The workshops and meetings, through information exchange, community engagement and sharing
of best practices, lead to a deeper, much required understanding of needs specific to the
Indian market. We will have similar initiatives in the future as India remains a key focus
market for IEEE-SA for smart grid, the Internet of Things and other strategic areas."
"We expect this outreach to result in collaborations that will lead to new, globally
relevant standards in the smart grid arena besides long-term partnerships that will aid
the development of an effective smart grid eco-system in India," added Bill Ash, strategic
program manager, IEEE-SA.
The first IEEE-SA standards workshop focused on Last Mile Connectivity will take place
on July 31stat the Electronic City C-DAC facility in Bangalore. The second in partnership
with SEMI on August 3rd, as part of SOLARCON India 2013 is at KTPO complex in Bangalore
and will focus on standards for renewable energy and micro-grids.

Note to Editors: Members of the visiting IEEE-SA delegation will be available to the
media discuss their perspectives relevant to India on smart grid, open standards
development principles and their role/relevance in technology innovation, the Internet of
Things (IoT), Ethernet (IEEE 802.3(TM) and 2013 being Ethernet's 40th anniversary),
Wi-Fi/WLAN (IEEE 802.11(TM) and relevance for broadband in India) and e-Health among other
areas. They would also be happy to elaborate on the role of standards in fostering
technology innovation and ensuring compatibility and inter-connectivity among other
benefits in these key areas. Journalists can attend both or one of the workshops upon
prior intimation. Do get in touch with PRHUB at the coordinates provided below and they'll
do the needful at the earliest.
