The first conference took place at Sorbonne University, Paris, France May 12–15, 1997. Integration of fixed and portable wireless access technologies and their mobility features into current fixed and mobile IP and ATM networks presents a cost effective and efficient way to provide seamless end-to-end connectivity and ubiquitous access in a market where demands on wireless networks have grown rapidly and which is predicted to generate billions of dollars in revenue. The deployment of broadband cell-based technologies including demand for internet mobility and their integration with emerging broadband wireless access networks (BWANs) are becoming i
