Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini Overview What is ATM? The Promise of Wireless ATM Transition from Wired ATM Advantages and Disadvantages Research and Implementations Goals of the Project Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini
Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini What is ATM? Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) A networking technology developed by the telephone companies to handle all types of data using fixed 53-byte cells, or packets. Creates virtual point-to-point circuit connections between the source and the destination. Data rates from 25 to 622 Mbps. Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini
Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini What is ATM? The small cell size allows ATM to transmit video, audio, and computer data over the same network, while guaranteeing a preset QoS level for each. Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini
Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini The Promise of W-ATM Extension of LAN for mobile user Simplified wiring and configuration Provide high-speed data access for users without need for a new wired infrastructure Create unforeseen opportunities for future applications Lalooses*Lancia*Slanda*Traboini
