Wireless networks are another means by which data can be exchanged


between a computer and a network, including the internet. A wireless network
is any network servicing computers or other devices (e.g. mobile phones), in
which the connections do not use cables of any kind. Wireless communication
usually uses radio waves, but infrared communication is also used.
In wireless networking all devices using the network need to have a wireless
network interface card through which they gain access to the network. The
card is used to transmit data across the network and to receive incoming data
from the network. The network itself will contain routers and network access
points.
