Welcome! Navas Wireless Wiki is a practical, comprehensive, and objective resource for wireless communications, particularly wireless access to the Internet, and related wireless technologies (e.g., cellular). Founded by John Navas and Jeff Liebermann.
Contributions and corrections are encouraged and appreciated, but please first visit our Community Portal for Important Policies on Content, Style, What we are, What we aren't, and other answers to your questions.

- http://wireless.navas.us/wiki/Fixed_Terrestial_Wireless#Fixed_Terrestrial_Wireless_Network_Type_and_Infrastructure
- Please do not put links in section headers.
What we are
