PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, 3 January 2013 - The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) today announced that it is exhibiting at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, 8-11 January 2013. By showcasing several of its standards, and standards-development projects in health-device communications, home networking, mobile video, smart grid-into-home devices and electric vehicles, the IEEE SA will highlight enabling consumer connectivity through consensus building.

The IEEE SA will exhibit in IEEE Booth 30242 in South Hall 3 of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

WHAT:
At 2013 International CES, the IEEE SA will demonstrate how it is enabling consumer connectivity through consensus building by showcasing standards, and standards-development projects in a wide variety of areas, including health-device communications, home networking, mobile video, smart grid-into-home devices and electric vehicles.

Among the features in Booth 30242, the IEEE SA will offer demonstrations of health-device communications based on the IEEE 11073™ family of standards.

WHEN:
CES duration: 8-11 January 2013
IEEE 11073 demonstrations: 9-10 January 2013, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

WHERE:
Booth 30242, Las Vegas Convention Center, South Hall 3

WHY:
By bringing industry together to craft interoperable standards for products that consumers crave, the IEEE SA helps foster consumer connectivity. With processes for consensus building that impact the entire standards lifecycle including pre-standards technology exploration, standards development and market implementation, the IEEE SA has an unparalleled track record when it comes to creating the standards that connect people.

As a result of enabling consumer connectivity through consensus building, the IEEE SA supports advancing technology for humanity, helping to improve quality of life, driving innovation, helping to create global markets and protecting health and safety.
