Disadvantages
|
|
|
– |
typically
very low bandwidth compared to wired networks
|
|
|
(1-10
Mbit/s)
|
|
|
– |
many
proprietary solutions, especially for higher bit-rates,
|
|
|
standards
take their time (e.g. IEEE 802.11)
|
|
|
– |
products
have to follow many national restrictions if working
|
|
|
wireless,
it takes a vary long time to establish global solutions like,
|
|
e.g.,
IMT-2000
