> AREA NETWORKS USING FIXED BROADBAND WIRELESS
> The 802.16? standard creates a platform on which to build a broadband
> wireless industry using high-rate systems that install rapidly without
> extensive metropolitan cable infrastructures. It was created in a
two-year,
> open-consensus process that involved hundreds of engineers from the
world's
> leading operators and vendors. The widespread deployment of 10 to 66 GHz
> wireless metropolitan area networks is an economical method of high-speed
> "last-mile" connection to public networks.
