Description
The Annual Review of Wireless Communications contains essays from leading experts in the industry which discuss academic theories and practical applications on the topic, all while focusing on the latest wireless technologies and advancements that have come about. It is a diverse volume that seeks to shed light on such sub-topics as business strategies and current trends while, at the same time, bringing together the perspectives of many specialists across the nation.

"On the high-speed Internet access side, there are multiple options with DSL and cable modems. But more importantly, other options such as [wireless fidelity] will become quite broad-based during the next three or four years," says Krish Prabhu, president and chief executive officer at Tellabs and a contributor to the Annual Review. "This tells us that the main issue is not consumer choice. Instead, at what point does a consumer think that the value and the service justify the cost?"

With the knowledge and applications gained from The Annual Review of Wireless Communications, the interested reader will be able to better comprehend the direction towards which wireless networks are leading our society and the efforts launched to meet these challenges. The Annual Review of Communications addresses such topics as wireless planning in health care and in the marketplace; software-defined radio; satellites for Internet communication; and gateway mobilities.
