CELLULAR BASED TECHNOLOGY
MICROCELLULAR BASED TECHNOLOGY This system are specialized to support low bit rate voice data application This technology can make use of virtually any geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite on the C-band and Ku-band. It can support fixed application but mobile application is not reliable. This systems provide high power,wide range.It is primarily used to expand basic telephony services. Typically operate in frequency bands 800-900 MHz,1.8-1.9 GHz It offers both mobility and fixed wireless access at same platform as cellulars. These systems provide low power, narrow range, high subscriber density WLL services It supports limited mobility upto 40mph. Repeaters are used to compensate for small coverage area Can tolerate intermediate delay spreads of up to 500nsec.
