Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

1 Scope

This part of ISO/IEC 14543 defines the mandatory and optional requirements for the mediumspecific Physical and Data Link Layers of radio frequency for network based control of HES Class 1 products and systems. It describes a multi-application bus system where the functions are decentralised, distributed and linked through a common communication process.

NOTE: Data Link Layer interface and general definitions, which are medium independent, are given in ISO/IEC 14543-3-1.
