Description
This comprehensive overview brings you up-to-date on new technologies for low-speed data, speech, and broadband communications, competing standards, adjacent technologies, new generation networks, and future developments. It's the only book on mobile telecommunications technology in Europe to include all new developments up to 1998. The book's coverage of historical, market, and technology data not only extends to all European Union member states, plus Norway and Switzerland, but also offers detailed comparisons with developments in the United States and Japan. It includes up-to-date discussions on standards such as GSM, TETRA/Tetrapol, POGSAC/ERMES/FLEX, and W-CDMA, several adjacent technologies such as VSAT, (d-) GSP and DAB broadcasting, and US and Japanese standards such as IS-95 CDMA, D-AMPS, FLEX/ReFlex, and PDC. Cover to cover, you get the in-depth information you need to compare design features and standards for the various technologies, develop a set of criteria for choosing a mobile communications platform for a specific application, and assess competitive issues between different networks and technologies and market network services.
