Wireless Communications (PDF)

The definitive assessment of how wireless communications will
evolve over the next 20 years.

Predicting the future is an essential element for almost
everyone involved in the wireless industry. Manufacturers predict
the future when they decide on product lines to develop or research
to undertake, operators when they buy licences and deploy networks,
and academics when they set PhD topics. Wireless Communications:
The Future provides a solid, clear and well-argued basis on
which to make these predictions.

Starting with a description of the current situation and a look
at how previous predictions made in 2000 have fared, the book then
provides the contributions of six eminent experts from across the
wireless industry. Based on their input and a critical analysis of
the current situation, it derives detailed forecasts for 2011
through to 2026. This leads to implications across all of the
different stakeholders in the wireless industry and views on key
developments.

* Presents clear and unambiguous predictions, not a range of
scenarios from which the user has to decide

This book, compiled by a renowned author with a track record of
successful prediction, is an essential read for strategists working
for wireless manufacturers, wireless operators and device
manufacturers, regulators and professionals in the telecoms
industry, as well as those studying the topic or with a general
