Jean,
IMNSHO, wireless will definitely be more of a factor in the networks of the future.
Cisco are well prepared for it - and they've formed some pretty groovy alliances with
wireless vendors such as Motorola to lead the way towards wireless convergence.
Their broadband offering is through Spectrapoint Wireless - I don't know much about
this company, but they've a pretty informative website: www.spectrapoint.com
I work for Invisix - which is Cisco's alliance with Motorola. Invisix is geared more
towards wireless data to handheld devices [pcs phones, pda's, etc.] Invisix' website
is still pretty lame [we're overhauling as I write this] but perhaps worth a gander...
www.invisix.com
At present, it doesn't get much better than 40-64kbps but the technology is improving
pretty much in pace with market demand for higher wireless data rates. We'll probably
see ISDN rates or better in less than a year's time, and T1/E1 rates not long
thereafter.
A few keywords you might want to use in net searches for more info on this stuff: 3G,
LMDS, GPRS, UMTS, HSPD
This is a bit off topic for this list, so if you or anyone else on the list would care
to discuss further, take it offline to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
