•Wireless technologies can be used for both access and core networks
–Access: WLAN, Bluetooth, Mobile Telephony, WiMax, Satellite
 Mainly provide mobility to users or access in remote areas
–Core: WiMax, Satellite, WLAN
 Act as cable replacement where hard to deploy cables; typically
fixed devices
•Wireless technologies are typically lower data rates than similar cost
wired technologies
–WLAN (54Mb/s) vsEthernet (100/1000Mb/s)
–EDGE (240kb/s) vsADSL (1.5Mb/s)
–HSPA (~10Mb/s) vsOptical (100Mb/s)
–WiMax(35Mb/s) vsOptical (1000Mb/s)
• High Speed Packet Access (HSPA)
• Code division multiple access (CDMA)
