Abstract: The Evolution of Wireless Technologies
Wireless technologies are beginning to provide users with nearly ubiquitous access to the Internet, services and data today. The future of wireless technologies promises to provide even greater access to high-speed data services from a wide variety of devices all over the globe. The emergence of the 802.16 (WiMAX) standard adds a new opportunity to provide high-speed data access to a new wave of Internet users. This session will focus on high-speed wireless data technologies, such as 802.11 (WiFi), 802.16 (WiMAX) and 802.20. Speakers will look at how these technologies will work together to provide an "always best connected" future.
