For
in-building wireless coverage, wireless LAN
|
|
|
technologies
are available: Proxim, WaveLan, ….
|
|
|
– |
Smaller
coverage area, more controlled environment
|
|
|
allow
higher frequency/lower power transmissions,
|
|
|
resulting
in higher bandwidth
|
|
n |
Other
controlled environments: Bluetooth,
|
|
|
Hiperlan,
…
|
|
|
– |
communication
over short distance (“personal area
|
|
|
networks”),
again allow power/cost/bandwidth
|
|
|
tradeoffs
|
|
n |
These
technologies typically do not provide wide-
|
|
area
coverage, but “islands of high connectivity”
