Abstract
Cordless technology began to crash the personal mobile communications party in the late 1980s. It brought with it a new way of designing wireless networks, one that derived from its varied roots in the wireless PABX, telepoint and domestic business, which contrasted with the stately, well integrated traditions of the cellular telephony business. One of its innovations was its affirmation of the cordless access network as a system in its own right, distinguishable and distinct from the fixed network, to whose mobility and call-switching services it could offer access.
