Know about the book -

Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers and mm-Wave Wireless Links for Converged Access Networks is written by Koenig, Swen and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3731502550 (ISBN 10) and 9783731502555 (ISBN 13).

Future access networks are converged optical-wireless networks, where fixed-line and wireless services share the same infrastructure. In this book, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) and mm-wave wireless links are investigated, and their use in converged access networks is explored: SOAs compensate losses in the network, and thereby extend the network reach. Millimeter-wave wireless links substitute fiber links when cabling is not economical.
