Good Engineering Practice as it Applies to Unlicensed Wireless Networks

Tim Pozar, Late Night Software
Presentation Date: October 18, 2004, 9:20 AM - 10:05 AM

Room: Grand Ballroom

Abstract:
Unlicensed wireless radios such as 802.11 systems have significantly reduced the cost and technical knowledge needed to deploy wireless networking. The technology is now attractive not only for the office and home user, but also to ISPs for last-mile, to educational institutions and corporations for campus networking, and for the Internet activist working on full neighborhood connectivity. Unfortunately, by its nature, unlicensed wireless networks will encounter more interference as more users dive in. This talk will cover some of design principals to get the most from your wireless deployments.

Tim Pozar Biography:
Tim Pozar is a communications consulting engineer specializing in microwave engineering for government and commercial applications. He was an early entrepreneur and developer in the Internet startup area, by co-founding a number of companies such as TLGnet, San Francisco's first ISP, and Brightmail, the first commercial anti-spam company. Previous to this for 25 years, Pozar was a radio broadcast engineer for commercial and non-commercial radio stations.

Pozar is active in community wireless networking. As such he is a co-founder of the Bay Area Wireless User Group. Pozar is also leading an effort called Bay Area Research Wireless Network (BARWN). BARWN studies issues such as scaling and sustainability when deploying wireless high-speed Internet access for urban and rural settings to address digital divide issues. The BARWN network is currently being built out through the San Francisco Bay area and is based on very low-cost unlicensed equipment. Pozar has also published a number of papers covering regulatory issues in the United States and engineering of high speed wireless networks, and is active in the development of wireless regulatory policy.
