Rutgers University launched WINLAB in 1989, just as the
communications industry, the Federal government, and the financial
community in the United States, were waking up to the growing
public appetite for wireless communications and to the shortage of
technology to feed it. The secret was already out in Europe, where
no fewer than three new cordless and cellular systems were
progressing from drawing board to laboratory to factory to
consumers. In July 1989, the FCC held a well-attended tutorial that
turned into a debate over whether second generation British or
Swedish technology held the key to mass-market personal
communications. Many in the audience wondered whether United States
technology was out of the picture. Technology uncertainties are
more acute in wireless communications than in any other information
service. For example multi-gigabit optical fiber communications
have followed an orderly progression from basic science leading to
technology, which in turn stimulated standards, and then commercial
products. Eventually applications will be found and industry and
society at large will reap the benefits. By contrast, the
applications of wireless communications are apparent to an eager
public. A large market exists but is held in check by a shortage of
capacity. The demand has led the cellular industry to formulate
standards for advanced systems before the technology is in place to
implement them. Everyone holds their breath waiting to observe
performance of the first products. Gaps in basic science add to the
uncertainty and forestall the resolution of technological debates.
