Introduction to WLLs: Application and Deployment for Fixed and Broadband Services

A systematic review of WLL systems
Wireless local loop (WLL) systems present an economically viable technology for providing telecommunications services to subscribers in both sparsely populated and highly congested areas. However, successfully managing a WLL system from initial concept to final implementation requires that engineers and technical managers consider a wide range of technical and strategic planning variables.
Introduction to WLLs: Application and Deployment for Fixed and Broadband Services provides a systems–level view of the technical, planning, and deployment aspects of WLL systems. It covers these systems as an alternative to both copper–based access for narrowband services (voice and voice–band data) and copper–, fiber–, or cable–based access for broadband services (video on demand, Internet access, high–speed data). Individual chapter topics include:Introduction to WLL systemsFundamentals of radio systemsKey cellular and cordless technologiesWLL systems design–system components and interfacesWLL systems design–radio aspectsPlanning and deployment of WLL systemsExamples of commercially available WLL systemsBroadband applications and services
This comprehensive reference is clearly organized for use by a wide audience in the global telecommunications industry. The text spells out acronyms at their first appearance, while an extensive glossary defines these and other technical terms. Engineers and technical managers involved in the planning, design, and operation of telecommunications networks for wireless equipment manufacturers, and service providers will find Introduction to WLLs to be a complete, up–to–date guide to these systems.
