Information Society Policy Link Research & Innovation: Standardisation Standards for secure wireless networks WCAM's work to implement high-quality video surveillance within wireless networks is expected to make major contributions to international standards on metadata. Wireless networks are already a familiar feature in many Much of the work focuses on new and emerging standards as homes and businesses. While they bring many advantages in a means to bring new functionalities with reduced cost, terms of mobility and flexibility, the current generation of increased performance and greater flexibility and ease-of-wireless devices are not particularly robust for delivering rich use. For instance, the project is tackling several topics which audio-visual content, such as music, video, or games. IST's are currently under consideration by ISO-related bodies for WCAM project is developing a next-generation system for the JPEG and MPEG multimedia standards. delivering audio-visual content efficiently and securely over a Specifically, the project aims to contribute to the new network. JPEG2000 image standard to extend it into the realms of security and wireless networking. As an early adopter of the JPEG2000 standard, WCAM will help validate the specifications and integrate them into real-world applications. The work on MPEG also involves validation, for a technique known as Scalable Video Encoding under the new MPEG-4 standard for metadata.
