Broadband fixed wireless access for a combined business and residential market

摘要

This paper is largely based on the EU-funded research activities within the ACTS and IST (Information Society Technologies) programmes. The interest started with local multipoint distribution systems (LMDS) that form part of the more general broadband fixed wireless access (BFWA) systems. The paper deals with combined business and residential markets, access technologies, coverage, propagation aspects, and some possible future trends.
