License-free broadband wireless wide-area networks (WWANs) provide fast deployment of lowcost, high-speed “last-mile” wireless Internet access. License-free wireless technology delivers these benefits without requiring the use of products or services provided by local telephone or cable companies. WWANs enable Internet service providers (ISPs) and corporate IT managers to deploy their own cost-efficient broadband networks that deliver high-speed access for buildings and areas where traditional wired connectivity is either completely unavailable or is costprohibitive.
Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networks is the first book that provides complete, real-world “start-to-finish” design, installation, operation, and support information for wireless ISPs and other organizations deploying outdoor wireless WANs-including coverage of 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and proprietary-protocol networks. This vendor-neutral book covers all brands of broadband wireless equipment and explains the principles upon which all wireless equipment is based. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step instructions and crystal-clear explanations that walk you through initial planning stages and onto full wireless network operation. End-ofchapter review questions reinforce important concepts.
Whether you’re an IT director, ISP engineer, network architect, or field technician, Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networks is your essential reference. With practical, in-depth coverage of the real-world challenges of outdoor, license-free wireless WAN deployment, this book provides a comprehensive, vendor-neutral guide to successful wireless network design and operation
+ 展开目录Chapter 1, "An Introduction to Broadband License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networking," presents basic broadband wireless terminology and history. It outlines the advantages and the challenges of working with outdoor networks. Finally, it discusses the safety issues that you need to address.
Chapter 2, "Understanding Wireless Fundamentals," helps you understand wireless fundamentals. Even if you have never worked with wireless before, you can be successful if you take the time to learn these fundamentals.
Chapter 3, "Choosing Your Network Architecture," describes the four basic wireless network architectures, including the advantages and disadvantages of each architecture.
Chapter 4, "Performing Site Surveys," discusses physical site surveys and wireless site surveys. Site surveys are an important step in building a reliable wireless network.
