If you ever had the foresight in 1970 to wonder along what sequence of events
wireless technologies would start penetrating society, you probably would not
have started first with high quality voice networks, then followed with high
speed data-networks and finally ended with low data rate, low duty cycle
simple sense and control networks. Most likely you would have suggested a
sequence the other way around: let's start "slow and easy" with sense and
control networks (sending temperature information every 5 minutes and control
our heaters or air conditioners); then you may have guessed that this would
have been followed by more complex data networks, as a higher speed next
generation data network, and finally the wireless revolution would have been
completed with the mos... (more)
