Acknowledgements When reviewing the list of sources, reference bodies and helpers who have contributed to this work, I come to think of myself more as a coordinator than a sole author, and my especial thanks are due to the many who have encouraged me, contributed material or reviewed sections of text. In particular, I would like to thank my friend and colleague, Dietmar Kroll, for his attention to radio planning details. No book on telecommunications as it is today could fail to recognise the contribution to world standards made by the International Telecommunications Union and its subordinate entities ITU-R and ITU-T. You will ®nd references littered throughout the text. Particular copyright extracts (chosen by the author, but reproduced with the prior authorisation of the ITU) are labelled accordingly. The full texts of all ITU copyright material may be obtained from the ITU Sales and Marketing Service, Place des Nations, CH-1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland, Telephone: +41 22 730 6141 or Internet: [email protected]. I am indebted for photographs to Netro Corporation. To Netro I am also indebted an education about broadband wireless. Special thanks to the co-founders Gideon Ben-Efraim and Eli Pasternak.
