With the emergence of broadband wireless communication systems,
new business opportunities have appeared for operators, content
provides, and manufacturers.

Broadband wireless communications technologies promise the
freedom of constant access to the Internet at high speeds, without
the limitation of connection cables. Broadband Wireless
Communications Business provides comprehensive coverage of the
present status and future evolution of these technologies, giving
vital practical cost and benefit advice on design, construction and
implementation. The author focuses on the costs associated with
network design and operation, examining resources, maintenance and
billing considerations in terms of Quality of Service provisioning.
The future of 4G is explained, with enhancing technologies,
cellular design topologies and ad-hoc technologies all covered
in-depth. This book will enable the reader to make key
business decisions: how to evaluate a technology, which to use, how
to combine several technologies to reach a target market, how to
differentiate from competitors and how to take advantage of future
possible enhancements.

Broadband Wireless Communications Business:

* Defines the unique technical features of the new broadband
wireless communications systems and explains what these mean for
operator and manufacturer businesses.

* Offers a complete guide to all current access technologies,
associated standards, and duplex modes.

* Provides advice on key business cost and benefit issues.

* Addresses wireless technology from the point of view of
numerous market sectors: public mobile systems, hot spot coverage,
personal area networks, and multi-user shared usage of resources,
etc.

This text is essential for decision makers and industry key
players responsible for the design, development, implementation and
management of wireless telecommunications systems.
Researchers specializing in the field of wireless technology and
graduate students on telecommunications courses will also find it
an excellent guide to the topic.
