Wireless Local Loop
- Mobile:
- CDMA (USA).
- TDMA (USA).
- GSM (ITU – Worldwide).
- UMTS 3rd Generation (World).
- Personal Handy-phone System (PHS in Japan, PAS/Xiaolingtong in China)
- Fixed or local area network:
- DECT, for local loop
- LMDS
- IEEE 802.11, originally designed for short range mobile internet and network access service, it has emerged as the facto standard for Wireless Local Loop.
- WiMAX or IEEE 802.16 may become the dominant medium for wireless local loop. Currently more operators are running on the 802.11 MAC at 2 and 5 GHz. 802.16 is unlikely to outperform 802.11 until at least late 2008. Intel is promoting this standard, while Atheros and Broadcom are still focused largely on 802.11.
- Satellite Internet access for autonomous building.

Famous quotes containing the word local:
“Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept. The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
