Wireless provides a means for effective, efficient and rapid deployment of new
access networks in areas previously without telecommunications service or short
of capacity. Fixed wireless access networks and Wireless Local Loop (WLL)
technology are, therefore, playing an important role in the restructuring of the
public telecommunications industry.
Written in a highly accessible, well-illustrated and simple-to-read format, this
book presents the economics, the practicalities, the technical and operational
aspects of planning and maintaining fixed wireless access networks, and explains
when and why they are attractive.
Topics covered include:
? Design of radio systems and their basic functionality
? Point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PMP) radio
? Calculation of radio system range
