Abstract/Description
Telecommunications over the past one hundred years has had a major influence on the development of society. Telecommunications will continue to play an increasingly important role in nearly every human endeavour in all nations of the earth. Telecommunication industry is currently facing a technological revolution. In many countries, the number of cellular radio subscribers exceeds the subscribers of fixed telephony services. Internet technologies, such as VoIP and SIP, allow the convergence of traditional switched telephony services and data services of the internet to converge. New wireless access technologies compete and complete the services provided by the modern cellular radio networks. Ambient networks integrating heterogeneous networks and allowing dynamic selection of access revolutionise the business models of the teleoperators. Communication technology is becoming ubiquitous, sensors and actuators embedded in our environment will use wireless communication to adapt the environment to our current needs.
