What is a Fixed Wireless Network?
The most basic definition of a fixed wireless network, or
wireless local loop, is the ability to provide residences
and businesses access to public voice and data networks
through the use of wireless radio technology instead of
traditional copper or fiber wire.
At Lucent Technologies, our fixed wireless network
solutions use advanced digital wireless technology to
provide voice and data services. Fixed wireless access
has several advantages over the traditional wireline
service, including lower costs, faster deployment, and the
ability to grow a network as market demand increases.
Since the development of the first trans-Atlantic phone
call, Lucent Technologies has bridged distances using
wireless radio technology when other means were not
practical. With our portfolio of wireless local loop
solutions, Lucent serves the full range of business
objectives being pursued by service providers. These
include:
Very high speed microwave connections able to
give end customers bandwith-intensive services
such as high-speed data and videoconferencing.
Mobile networks that do double duty, serving
people both at home as well as on the road as they
take their phones with them wherever they go.
Fixed wireless access for residences and
businesses enabling wireline-equivalent services at
lower cost and faster deployment.
Lucent's Fixed Wireless Network Solutions offer levels
of service from basic voice through high-bandwith data.

Meeting Broadband Demand
An unprecedented opportunity for service providers,
manufacturers and end-users has opened up in the
telecommunications industry. Telecommunications reform
in the United States, as well as liberalization and
privatization internationally, has led to strong end-user
demand for high-speed data and voice connectivity.This in
turn, has led service providers to try to meet customers'
needs with new and innovative approaches.
Breakthroughs in high-speed fixed wireless access
technologies, ATM access and software have enabled the
emergence of a new form of cost-effective high-speed
connection to voice and data networks. This
state-of-the-art system is based on a combination of
high-frequency, point-to-multipoint radio technology and a
dynamic ATM-based bandwidth manager, allowing for
services – ranging from voice to high-speed data and video
– to be delivered without any physical media (copper,
fiber, coax) in the outside plant. The market for this
opportunity is here today. Lucent's Wireless Broadband
Networks Division intends to take full advantage of it.
