In this chapter on Home Networks additionally cellular and cordless systems have been <strong>in</strong>tegrated, because the<br />

largest and most noticeable part of the telecommunications bus<strong>in</strong>ess is telephony. The pr<strong>in</strong>cipal wireless<br />

component of telephony is mobile (i.e., cellular) telephony. In recent years the development of 3G thirdgeneration<br />

cellular i.e. IMT2000 and other wireless technologies have been key issues, like wireless<br />

piconetwork<strong>in</strong>g (Bluetooth), personal area network (WPAN) systems, and local area networks (WLAN).<br />

However, wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) systems (IEEE 802.16 standards, called WiMAX**<br />

systems) are described <strong>in</strong> the chapter on Wireless Access.<br />
