Wireless Communication


.
             1947 marked the largest effort to date to create a true cellular wireless infrastructure as AT&T engineers scattered multiple low-power transmitters throughout a metropolitan area and actually began "handing off- radio calls from transmitter to transmitter. All of this was done from a vehicle while it moved throughout the area. From these early tests, it took almost another 20 years before the handoff was an efficient method of transferring calls along a route. It was also at that time that the FCC gave tentative approval for this new "cellular service."" In 1977, the FCC authorized two experimental licenses, one to AT&T in Chicago and another to Motorola and American Radio Telephone Service, Inc. in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. corridor. Shortly thereafter, in 1981 the FCC finally announced that there would be two licenses in every market; one for the "wireline- carriers and one for "non-wireline- carriers. So, the wireless network was born. Since then, was frequency ranges have been added to accommodate wireless network in order to accommodate the growing number of wireless users, the number of different applications and appliances which use the wireless service and also to enhance wireless and cellular services through advent of new technologies and uses. Today, there are more than 100 million Americans using some form of wireless service and it is estimated that wireless subscription will double within the next two years. .
