Abstract
Diverse communication terminals attach via broadband radio to a communications network at any of typically three hierarchical cell sizes increasing from, typically, a single building to a city to a region. Almost all telecommunications traffic transpires, however, within lowest-level “picocells,” to and from low cost “base stations,” that have typically one radio transceiver,, four optical transceivers,, an ATM switch,and an ATM controller,. Each local “base station,” is interconnected to a regional “end office switch,”, where is realized connection to a worldwide wire/fiber line communications backbone,, upon a multi-hop mesh network,via short highly-focused free-space broadband directional optical links,. By this free-space wireless broadband access the need for new broadband access cabling the “last mile” to subscriber/users is totally surmounted. Subscriber service is of the order of 20 Mb/s peak rate, and 10 Mb/s average rate.
