我国毫米波通信标准IEEE 802.11aj 2018年8月，电气和电子工程师协会IEEE（电气和电子工程师协会）正式发布了IEEE802.11aj-2018《信息技术系统间远程通信和信息交换局域网和城域网特定要求第11部分：无线局域网媒体访问控制和物理层规范补篇3：支持中国毫米波频段（60 GHz和45 GHz）的增强超高吞吐量》标准（Information Technology--Telecommunications and information exchange between systems Local and metropolitan area networks--Specific requirements Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications Amendment 3: Enhancements for Very High Throughput to Support Chinese Millimeter Wave Frequency Bands（60 GHz and 45 GHz)）。
毫米波通信具有大带宽、高速率传输、方向性强的优点，因此，是近年来备受关注的无线通信技术之一。
该标准针对中国60GHz毫米波（57GHz～64GHz）频段规定了定向多吉比特（DMG）物理层和媒体访问控制（MAC）层。
同时，该标准还增加了适用于45GHz毫米波频段的物理层和媒体访问控制（MAC）层。
从2011年开始，全国信息技术标准化技术委员会无线个域网标准工作组（简称“无线个域网标准工作组”）开始展开60GHz和45GHz毫米波标准的研究工作。
60GHz毫米波频段我国已经有了相关的频谱管理规定，但是。

This includes viewing the status of theenclosure power supply, temperature and fan speed. In addition,through the Configuration Tool, the user can configure theExpressSAS RAID to provide email notifications when an event suchas a failure occurs.∙Support for acquiring and displaying enclosure serial numbero If the enclosure supports this parameter, the ExpressSAS RAIDadapter can display any enclosure serial number attached to theadapter.∙Ability to light faulted drive(s) in an enclosure with an embedded expander o To simplify usability, users can identify and flash the LED of a faulted drive to help in diagnosing and replacing failed drives.∙Identify device in an enclosure with an embedded expander from Configuration Toolo To simplify usability, from the Configuration Tool, users are able toidentify a selected device by flashing the device LED.∙Identify all drives in a single RAID group within an enclosure with an embedded expandero To simplify usability, from the Configuration Tool, users are able toidentify all members of a selected RAID group by flashing the LEDs ofthe respective media.∙Identify all drives within an enclosure with an embedded expandero To simplify usability, from the Configuration Tool, users are able toidentify all devices within a selected enclosure by flashing the LEDs ofthe respective media.▪[ExpressSAS R-Series] Improved Media Error Handling∙To account for variances in physical media, the ExpressSAS RAID products have implemented enhanced error handling methodologies that will reallocateunusable sectors during I/O without impacting performance. This minimizespotential workflow interruptions caused by imperfect media. In addition, duringRAID group initialization, users will have a choice between an AdvancedInitialization method which will thoroughly scan and clean the selected mediaminimizing the RAID group’s susceptibility to errors. This is usually done thefirst time a RAID group is created and requires that no I/O be allowed duringthe process. Another initialization method added, Express Initialization, allowsusers to perform I/O during initialization and is generally used when the mediahas previously been through a full initialization cycle.▪[ExpressSAS R-Series] Improved performance through enhanced rebuild prioritization functionality.▪Address issues with device identification for devices in an enclosure.▪Improved SES event reporting. SES events are reported via the firmware and passed through the normal log processing.NOTE: New features specific to the ExpressSAS R-Series are only supported with v2.20 driver set and firmware updates. Features will be unsupported without the proper versions of drivers and firmwareand thus be “grayed out” in the Configuration Tool v3.18.∙Version 3.17 (Released 1/24/2008)o The following apply to changes made from v3.16 to v3.17. These changes were made specifically for the ExpressSAS RAID Adapter. They do not affect Celerity Fibre Channeladapters, ExpressPCI SCSI adapters or ExpressSAS host adapters.o New Features, Enhancements and Changes▪Added support for tape drives and libraries.▪Support added to allow users to set the adapter to automatically begin a rebuild of a RAID group when a failed drive is replaced with a new, clean drive.▪Support added to set the interval to spin drives up individually, lowering the powerconsumption on the enclosure power supply.▪Added support to monitor the health of the storage enclosure and its respective devices using SES.▪Added ability to display RAID group properties within the Configuration Tool.▪Added the ability to change the SpeedRead setting after the creation of a RAID group.▪Added support for N-way mirroring. Note that since anything other than one mirror is not supported in RAID 10, migration is disabled for RAID1 with more than one mirrorand RAID 0 with more than one stripe.▪Enhanced device enumeration to improve user experience by providing feedback while waiting for drives to be discovered.▪Improved messaging during the configuration of hot spares.▪Added Spin-Up Delay option configurability.▪Reassign I/O base registers when a system BIOS improperly assigns I/O addresses to avoid system hangs on some platforms.3. Known Issues/Advisements∙The system tray applet will not be available on platforms that are running Java 1.5, or earlier. This mainly affects OS X platforms, specifically ones running OS X 10.5 or lesser on a PowerPC platform.In this case, the beep will still be produced, however the user will have to open the Configuration Tool and set the audible alert level to OFF in order to terminate the beep.4.
