  • Abstract
    Chang and a team of researchers are now crafting a network design that\´s a unique hybrid - delivering high-speed wired and wireless services from the same signals on one optical fiber. Wireless is pushing for the highest bandwidth possible. As providers clamor to offer more bandwidth-hungry content and users clamor for the best possible connection speeds, "the two worlds of fiber and wireless have to converge".
