Abstract :
After discussing advances in wired networking in a previous column (see ibid., p.107-9, April 2000), I now turn to advances in wireless networking. Wireless networks can include everything from cellular, personal communications system (PCS), and Group System for Mobile communications (GSM) networks to wireless LANs, satellite-based networks, and fixed wireless networks. Many of these technologies have experienced significant growth lately because of an increasingly mobile workforce and accelerating user acceptance
