Abstract
Many of us are relying more and more heavily on wireless communications in our daily activities. Portable telephones, pagers, cellular telephones, wireless LANs and WANs and many other similar devices represent the wireless world and are becoming more and more indispensable. The number of active units is forecasted to exceed one billion by the year 2000 by far surpassing the installed base of personal computers. This growth will not happen without difficulty some of which is already being experienced. Calls are dropped or noisy, pages are lost, circuits are busy or the system use is difficult, not to mention security and administrative issues. The role MCMs play in this arena is discussed. Both the opportunity and challenge to MCMs in the growth wireless communications are outlined.Keywords
