Issues in unlicensed wireless include security, coexistence and compliance, just to name a few and the design issues around these devices are extremely fluid at present. This session will address these and other issues from a design perspective. The attendee will be given a perspective on the technologies, their issues and gain a clear roadmap of the design roadmap of unlicensed technologies.

This presentation will discuss ZigBee technology and its integration into 21st century wireless technology. Emphasized will be the IEEE 802.15.x standards and specifications, applications and design.

Session Topic: UMA Reference Design for Optimized Performance, Scalability and Ease-of–Deployment

Making it simple for mobile phone users to constantly connect to voice, data and entertainment services is a goal that many semiconductor manufacturers strive for. Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) is a fairly new technology that enables cellphone users to roam and handover between cellular networks and public/private unlicensed wireless networks (including Bluetooth and 802.11) using dual-mode mobile handsets easily. UMA technology allows seamless switching between networks without interruption for voice and multimedia services. It also offers consumers the flexibility of being able to use a more cost-effective network for mobile communications.
