Wireless
Communication is enjoying its fastest growth
period in history, due to enabling technologies
which permit widespread deployment. With
the development of highly reliable, miniature,
solid-state radio frequency hardware in the
1970s, the wireless communications era was
born. The recent exponential growth in cellular
radio and personal communication systems
throughout the world is directly attributable
to new technologies from 1970s.
The future growth of consumer-based mobile
and portable communication systems will
be tied more closely to radio spectrum
allocations and regulatory decisions which
affect or support new or extended services,
as well as to consumer needs and technology
advances in the signal processing, access,
and network areas.
