5. What We Do
Improve: we are working
on a variety of initiatives to
both improve the ISO
18000-7 standard as well as
reference other
complementary standards
and in some cases, build new
specifications and standards
to help DASH7 realize its full
potential.
Certify: our members
submit DASH7 products for
conformance and
interoperability testing using
a third party testing house
Market: we create
greater awareness about
DASH7 in order to open
new markets and create
new revenue opportunities
for our members.
