Pushing the Boundaries of Connectivity
14 15
BROADBAND NETWORKING Wireless has transformed the networking experience. New technologies are enabling
us to connect to the broadband Internet faster and further from a wired connection than ever before.
With the evolution of WiFi standards from .11b to .11g moving to the future of .11n, wireless networks can
offer the faster speeds and further ranges that support the next generation of wireless applications, including simul-
taneous voice and high-definition video streams.
The emergence of wide area wireless technologies such as FLASH-OFDM, UMTS TD-CDMA, and WiMax in
combination with WiFi offer a groundbreaking opportunity to enhance services for mobile, portable, and stationary
broadband access. The movement toward municipal WiFi and community wireless makes wireless broadband Inter-
net access readily available where and when you need it outside home and work.
The convenience of the wireless broadband Internet anywhere, anytime is pushing the boundaries of connectivity.
Emerging wireless technologies
are bringing wide area

By 2007, worldwide broadband
subscribers are expected
to surpass 200 million
