Mobility- More than Just a Buzz Word? From Theory to Practice

"All is flux" (Heraclitus 544-584). Heraclitus reckoned that it took more than 10,000 solar years for the cycle of becoming to come full circle. In contrast, the pace of innovation in today´s technologies can bring about a revolution in the space of months, if not weeks. This is true for communications technology in general and mobile communications in particular. Starting with an overview of the theory behind this fascinating field, the following article goes on to explain the sort of tasks facing mobile networks in a global economy. Finally, after describing how close we are to fulfilling such requirements, the author provides an insight into the latest in satellite communications.
