Description:

Do you want your wireless network to be profitable? Wireless operators will find this practical, hands-on guide to network deployment invaluable. Based on their own extensive experience, the authors describe an end-to-end network planning process to deliver the guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) that enables today's wireless IP services such as VoIP, WWW and streaming video. With a focus on practical design, comprehensive examples are provided for GSM/GPRS/EDGE UMTS/HSDPA OFDM Mesh Wifi Packet backhaul Topics addressed include: capacity/peak data rates, service latency link budgets lifecycle costs network optimisation The trade-off between enhanced user experience and operator…
