Primary Network Growth Wireless Service Providers Digital Features and Performance System Reliability Network Security There remains, two primary directions for growth in wireless technologies: Features and Performance Voice remains the primary market
Wireless Service Providers Cingular (AT&T) Recently merger with AT&T to form the largest wireless and land line company in the United States Verizon Second largest wireless carrier in the United States Sprint/Nextel 2006 merger. Third largest wireless carrier in the United States T-Mobile Positioned itself as one of the largest international mobile communications carriers. First to operate a trans-Atlantic mobile network based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), the world’s most successful digital wireless standard

Network Security It is important to protect the primary function of wireless technologies, voice communication Public Safety System Police and fire command connected to a private network. This will offer quick access to criminal records, mug shots and building blueprints. The system is also capable of video transmission E911 The FCC has made it mandatory for all carriers to comply with E911 services. The service is provided to home your location and respond to emergency calls. Simply put, signal strength measurements are from 3 infrastructure radios to calculate the whereabouts of the caller (triangulation)
Public Safety Network An even larger private network platform is being planned for national security. The network will enable government agencies, (CIA, FBI and Justice department) to communicate, border to border, on the same telecommunication system Hurricanes Tornadoes Earthquakes Terrorist Attacks
Conclusion Wireless telecommunications has experienced exceptional growth over the past several years. It is important to consider network reliability for customers, public safety and government agencies Secondary Power Emergency power applications should and will be a significant part of network designs. Design issues to be considered: Much of network development will be located around highly populated areas Decibel levels Inner city emission levels Environmental design that is compatible to surrounding structures
