This book provides an essential summary of the key technologies and issues of 4G. It brings together the technology, the commercial arguments and the latest developments in a single volume. It assesses the key technological drivers of 4G (wLAN (wireless Local Area Networks), WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Acces), convergence, and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), leaving the reader with a very clear and up-to-date briefing on the future of Mobile in the next 2-5 years. The book looks at developments globally and not specifically be UK or Europe with case studies on companies such as BT Fusion, Swisscomm Convergence, Virgin Quad Play, WiMax trials, and a website with diagrams and figures as well as references for further reading.
Dr. Wisely has worked for BT for 20 years in the fields of networks and mobility research. He pioneered optical wireless links in the early 1990s constructing a 4 km, 1500nm system using optical amplifiers. Dave has worked in the field of mobility for the past 10 years, looking firstly at wireless ATM and HIPERLAN systems and more latterly into the combination of cellular mobile and WLAN systems. Dave was one of the pioneers of an all-IP solution for future developments of 3G. He also acted as technical manger for the influential EU IST BRAIN/ MIND EU IST project which did much to push forward with all-IP network concepts. He has contributed over 100 papers to journals and conferences, published one previous book and contributed chapters to over a dozen others. Dave was also the co-editor of the BTTJ special edition of mobility. He is currently in charge of all convergence research and development at BT and has responsibility for BT's twenty-first century network's convergence research programme. Dave is married with two children aged 11 and 8 and lives in rural Suffolk. His hobbies include: cricket, tram-spotting and complaining about the transport system in the UK.
