Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks for Telemonitoring Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless Local area networks (wLANs), particularly from standards 802.1b/g, have become extremely widespread in a very short time, in society in general as well as at an industrial level. One of the limitations of this technology is its coverage. The family of new standards, such as 802.16, allows us to overcome these limitations, enabling then their use as Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), as required by some application domains of industrial networks. In the present work we present an application of this technology in telemonitoring systems on metropolitan areas which shows their potential, but also the complexity of predicting their behaviour in a dynamic scenario such as a large city.
