Challenging issues
Dealing with the proliferation of standards and use of different frequency bands Ubiquitous access to the network (wide coverage) Interoperability between various networks Powerful infrastructure:highly available/cost effective/scalable Provision of high bandwidth QoS support Security Small low-power low-weight mobile devices

Final remarks
Mobile and wireless networks represent the next wave of networking But mobile and wireless networks bring many new challenges In the very near future they will compete with wired networks for applications with low to medium bandwidth requirements Will once wired networks become relics of the past ?
