Broadband connectivity has been considered the future of the telecommunications industry for decades and it typically refers to those data services operating at data rates in excess of 1.544 Mbit/sec (known as T-1 rate). While the theoretical foundations of high data rate digital communications are appearently well-known; there has not been any practical solution to implement the massive amount
of signal processing required to operate reliably over the poor quality "last-mile" channel.
The principal obstacle to mass deployment of broadband data services is without
any doubt cost. The wireless terrestrial transmission media presents probably the most difficult challenges. Several types of solutions are being proposed and initially deployed.
