Wireless Local Loop - Definition of Fixed Wireless Service

Definition of Fixed Wireless Service

Fixed Wireless Terminal (FWT) units differ from conventional mobile terminal units operating within cellular networks – such as GSM – in that a fixed wireless terminal or desk phone will be limited to an almost permanent location with almost no roaming abilities.

WLL and FWT are generic terms for radio based telecommunications technologies and the respective devices which can be implemented using a number of different wireless and radio technologies.

Wireless Local Loop service is segmented into a number of broad market and deployment groups. Services are split between Licensed – commonly used by Carriers and Telcos – and Unlicensed services more commonly deployed by home users and Wireless ISPs (WISPs).

Famous quotes containing the words definition of, definition, fixed and/or service:

    Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.
    Alan Bennett (b. 1934)

    The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.
    William James (1842–1910)

    At first I intended to become a student of the Senate rules and I did learn much about them, but I soon found that the Senate had but one fixed rule, subject to exceptions of course, which was to the effect that the Senate would do anything it wanted to do whenever it wanted to do it.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
