Abstract

Designing telecommunications for world- class events, in 2000 and beyond, can be regarded as a testbed for robust networks. In such cases, communications will include critical emergency and security traffic. Personal communications will be by wireless services. Wireless will integrate multiple media, voice telephony, internet data access and short messaging.

The reliability of services offered by cellular systems is a crucial aspect that unfortunately has not taken precedence over other communications systems (optical, wireline etc). The attentive study of proper methods that increase capacity and survivability together with the particular specifications of each cellular network can give a significant direction towards this field.
