| Best practices for planning and deployment of broadband WWANs.
Choose the right network architecture for your wireless network
Conduct physical site surveys and radio-frequency (RF) site surveys
License-free broadband wireless wide-area networks (WWANs) provide fast deployment of lowcost,
high-speed "last-mile" wireless Internet access. License-free wireless technology delivers
these benefits without requiring the use of products or services provided by local telephone or
cable companies. WWANs enable Internet service providers (ISPs) and corporate IT managers to
deploy their own cost-efficient broadband networks that deliver high-speed access for buildings
and areas where traditional wired connectivity is either completely unavailable or is costprohibitive.
Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networks is the first book that provides
complete, real-world "start-to-finish" design, installation, operation, and support information for
wireless ISPs and other organizations deploying outdoor wireless WANs-including coverage of
802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and proprietary-protocol networks. This vendor-neutral book covers
all brands of broadband wireless equipment and explains the principles upon which all wireless
equipment is based. Inside, you'll find step-by-step instructions and crystal-clear explanations
that walk you through initial planning stages and onto full wireless network operation. End-ofchapter
review questions reinforce important concepts.
Whether you're an IT director, ISP engineer, network architect, or field technician, Deploying
License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networks is your essential reference. With practical, in-depth
coverage of the real-world challenges of outdoor, license-free wireless WAN deployment, this
book provides a comprehensive, vendor-neutral guide to successful wireless network design and
operation. |
