    INTRODUCTION
    • In the telephone networks, the circuit between the subscriber's equipment (e.g. telephone
    set) and the local exchange is called the subscriber loop or local loop.

    • Copper wire has been used as the medium for local loop to provide voice and voice-band
    data services.

    • Since 1980s, the demand for communications services has increased explosively. There
    has been a great need for the basic telephone service, i.e. the plain old telephone service
    (POTS) in developing countries.

    • Wireless local loop provides two-ways a telephone system…………..

    • Wireless local loop includes cordless access system, proprietary fixed radio access
    system and fixed cellular system. It is also known as fixed radio wireless. This can be in
    an office or home.

    • Broadband Wireless Access (BWA), Radio In The Loop (RITL), Fixed-Radio Access
    (FRA) and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).

    What is a wireless local loop?


    In a telephone network, a wireless local loop (WLL) is a generic term for an access system that
    uses a wireless link to connect subscribers to their local exchange in place of conventional
    copper cable. Using a wireless link shortens the construction period and also reduces installation
    and operating costs.

    History of WLL
    www.studymafia.org

    Wireless access first started to become a possibility in the 1950s and 1960s as simple radio
    technology reduced in price. For some remote communities in isolated parts of the country, the
    most effective manner of providing communication was to provide a radio, kept in a central part
    of the community. By the end of the 1970s, communities linked by radio often had dedicated
    radio links to each house, the links connected into the switch such that they were used in the
    same manner as normal twisted-pair links. The widespread deployment of the cellular base
    station into switching sites helped with cost reduction. Similar access using point-to-point
    microwave links still continues to be widely used today.
    During the reunification of West and East Germany, much funding was put into increasing the
    teledensity in East Germany. The installation of twisted-pair access throughout would have been
    a slow process. In the interim, cellular radio was seen to offer a stop-gap measure to provide
    rapid telecommunications capability. So in East Germany a number of cellular networks, based
    upon the analog Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) standard, were deployed in the 800 MHz
    frequency range. The key difference was that subscribers had fixed unit mounted to the sides of
    their houses to increase the signal strength and hence allow the networks to be constructed with
    larger cells for lower costs. Thus, we see the first WLL network was born.

    How does WLL work?


    WLL, which stands for Wireless Local Loop is of course a technology that connects subscribers
    to the PSTN using radio signals as a substitute for copper for all or part of the connection
    between the subscriber and the switch. This includes cordless access systems, proprietary fixed
    radio access, and fixed cellular systems. WLL phones in homes, offices or even boats connect
    with a wireless system in a manner similar to that of CDMA cell phones.
    www.studymafia.org

    The difference is that WLL phones usually stay in a relatively fixed location. WLL phones often
    connect to AC current rather than using batteries. They are used to provide voice, fax, and data
    connections. The diagram below shows how the subscriber unit conveys digital signal through
    RF to the base station (RBS or BTS), which has a landline to the BSC and then back to the main
    switch office. This has in turn its own connection to the PSTN and hence to other subscribers.

    Using WLL for data transfer applications rather than using cable or DSL is also becoming a viable option
    because of the low setup costs of WLL. Below is a diagram of the WLL used in computer data transfers.
    However price per month for subscribers is another matter. In 2001 a typical contract can run upwards of
    $100 a month for a 1 Mbps service. This is ontop of the $1500 connection fee. However if the only other
    choice is no broadband at all, WLL may look much more attractive

    WLL VS WIRELINE SYSTEM


    • Concentration of Resources
    • Flexibility to planning and deployment of the system
    • Fast network deployment and change
    • Lower maintenance and capital costs
    • Local mobile feature
    • Temporary Installation

    Advantages
    In comparison to the alternative of deploying copper lines, WLL technology offers a
    number of key advantages:
    www.studymafia.org

    • Faster deployment:
    WLL systems can be deployed in weeks or months as compared to the months or years need for
    the deployment of aboveground or underground copper wire. Even with higher costs per
    subscriber that may be associated with the WLL terminal and base station equipment, the faster
    rate of deployment can permit a higher return on investment.

    • Lower deployment costs:


    The deployment of WLL technology involves considerably less heavy construction than does the
    laying of copper lines. The lower construction costs may be more than offset by the additional
    equipment costs associated with WLL technology, but, in urban areas especially, the process of
    routing cable to individual households is also much more time consuming than deploying
    wireless base stations, which are shared by many subscribers. Wireline networks also take more
    time to deploy than WLL networks because they require government right of way authorization
    to dig trenches through public streets.

    • Lower network maintenance, management, and operating costs:


    Especially in areas where the deployment of copper lines has the potential to be haphazardly
    performed, wireless equipment can be less failure prone than copper wire and can be less
    vulnerable to sabotage, theft, or damage due to the elements or other parties. In some WLL
    systems, network management, including fault-finding and system reconfiguration, can be
    conducted from a centralized location to fully administer the WLL network between the
    telephone network interface and the subscriber terminal. The overall result is reduced lifetime
    network costs.

    • Lower network extension costs:


    Wireless local loop technology intrinsically offers flexibility to meet uncertain levels of
    penetration and subscriber growth rates. Once the WLL infrastructure is in place, each
    incremental subscriber can be installed at very little cost. WLL systems that are designed to be
    modular and scalable can furthermore allow the pace of network deployment to closely match
    demand, minimizing the costs associated with underutilized plant. Such systems are flexible
    enough to meet uncertain levels of penetration and rates of growth.

    • High bandwidth is available providing:


    - Video;
    - High-speed Internet access; and
    - Telephony services.
    www.studymafia.org

    Disadvantages
    • The technology is more costly due to the need for research and development
    Moreover, some network operators fear technological obsolescence , that if a commitment is
    made to a specific WLL technology today, then within a few years it may be surpassed by
    technologies currently under development.

    • The technology has not been tested over a long term of time for reliability and
    repair costs
    The disadvantages of a wireless local loop solution, lie in the fact that much of the technology
    particularly on the digital side, is relatively untried.

    • Certain technologies are not available in all areas, which leaves people with the
    unsupported technology disconnected
    The capital cost of WLL technology, even when it compares favorably to the deployment of
    copper lines, remains outside the reach of many government or private network operators.

    • Wireless technology requires that data be sent over open space, which makes it
    susceptible to interception and decreases the security of the transmission
    • Customer accessibility is still low in the US
    Where traditionally most of the innovations in new technology comes from.
    www.studymafia.org

    • Market investment is slow in the US


    Due to the low penetration of American companies in the market.

    CONCULSION
    • High capacity for voice channels and quick start of services.

    • WLL will play a more important role for local loop services in future.
