These technical guides for industry have been produced as outputs of the Industry Sectoral Projects (ISPs) of the WTIA’s National Diffusion Networks Project that is supported by the Federal, State and Territory Governments and Australian industry.

Each Technical Guidance Note has been reviewed by industry and through the SMART Industry Group in each industry sector.

Further feedback for their improvement is encouraged. A questionnaire for return of comments to the WTIA is included at the end of each Technical Guidance Note, or email info@wtia.com.au.

Technical Guidance Notes for other industry sectors will become available shortly.
