G.729 A compression technique where voice is coded into 8 Kbps streams.
There are two variations of this standard (G.729 and G.729 Annex A)
that differ mainly in computational complexity; both provide speech
quality similar to 32-kbps ADPCM. Described in the ITU-T standard
in its G-series recommendations.
GPS Global Positioning System. A system that uses satellites, receivers
and software to allow users to determine their precise geographic
position.
H.323 A protocol suite defined by ITU-T for voice transmission over internet
(Voice over IP or VoIP). In addition to voice applications, H.323
provides mechanisms for video communication and data
collaboration, in combination with the ITU-T T.120 series standards.

IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE (pronounced
I-triple-E) is an organization composed of engineers, scientists, and
students. The IEEE is best known for developing standards for the
computer and electronics industry. In particular, the IEEE 802
standards for local-area networks are widely followed.
IEEE 802.11b The IEEE 802.11b (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi). An
extension to 802.11 standard for wireless Ethernet networks, that
applies to wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a
fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band.
IEEE 802.11g An extension to 802.11 standard for wireless Ethernet networks,
that applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz
band.
IEEE 802.16 Also known as WIMAX. A group of broadband wireless
communications standards for metropolitan area networks (MANs)
developed by a working group of the IEEE.
IEEE 802.16e 802.16e, also known as 802.16-2005, is an IEEE standard
addressing mobility of wireless broadband (WiMax). IEEE 802.16e is
sometimes called Mobile WiMAX, after the WiMAX forum for
interoperability. 802.16e, based on an existing WiMAX standard
802.16a, adds WiMAX mobility in the 2-to-6 GHz-licensed bands.
802.16e allows for fixed wireless and mobile Non Line of Sight
(NLOS) applications primarily by enhancing the OFDMA (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiple Access).
