Abstract

This book has addressed the general problem of designing a high-speed wireless link using non-directed infrared radiation. The results suggest that speeds near 100 Mb/s are practical. The only true test of this hypothesis, of course, is to build such a link and verify it experimentally. Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley are currently developing a 50-Mb/s prototype that incorporates many of the ideas in this book. Although final results are forthcoming, preliminary reports have been encouraging [5] [37] [38].
