Airtouch mentioned to me that they were considering offering Qcom's WLL terminals for their Powerband service. That tells me that IS95 and IS95 WLL are identical on the infastructure side.

I want just one phone number too. One number between different providers (Telco and Wireless Telco) depends on a smooth forwarding system (SS7?). But, one phone number for several wireless phones should be simple once the infastructure software is written for it.

Qcom has a WLL terminal that allows you to cut down your POTS dropline and plug their box into a phone jack. Raise the little rubber antenna and you are able to make voice, data, and fax calls the same as a regular phone line (no need to worry about the "send" and "end" buttons.)

Even more interesting is the cost of running a POTS line to a convention booth or a temporary office next to a construction site. Ever shudder when you realize the credit-card validation machine at the booth was plugged into a Motorola 550 amps phone? B-)

It was easy for me to consider new GSM country infestations with low regard: "wait 'till they start demanding WLL." But...

12 December, 1997
Ericsson and Telular Corporation announced they have signed an
agreement under which Telular has licensed its patent portfolio of
wireline-to-wireless interface technologies to Ericsson. The goal of
the cooperation is to provide fixed wireless solutions as a
cost-effective alternative to wireline deployments.

The interface technologies automatically bridge landline telephone
services with wireless communications networks, allowing a call from
a fixed telephone to be simply and economically carried over a
wireless network rather than landlines. Voice, fax and data, bypass
and remote diagnostic traffic can all be carried.
