Wireless

It is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves, rather than some form of wire or cable, carry signal between communicating devices. It enables mobile computing, mobile commerce, and pervasive computing. It is the ability to communicate anytime anywhere and provides organizations with strategic advantage by increasing productivity and speed and improving 9/19/12

Terms to define

Mobile computing refers to a real-time, wireless connection between a mobile device and other computing environments, such as internet and intranet. Mobile commerce also mcommerce refers to e-commerce (EC) transactions that are conducted in a wireless environment, especially via the internet. Pervasive computing also called

WAP Wireless Application Protocol

Is the standard that enables wireless devices to access Web-based information and services. WAP compliant devices contain which are internet browsers with small file size that can work within the confines of small screen sizes on wireless devices and relatively low bandwidths.

Wireless transmission media

Wireless media, or broadcast media, transmits signals without wires over the air or in space:

Microwave Satellite Radio And infrared

microwave

Microwave transmission systems are widely used for high- volume, long distance, line-of-sight communication. Line of sight means that transmitter and receiver must be in view of each other Microware transmission are susceptible to environmental 9/19/12 inference during severe weather

Satellite

Make use of communication satellites:

Geostationary (GEO) Medium earth orbit (MEO) Low earth orbit(LEO)

Radio Transmission

Uses radio-wave frequencies to send data directly between transmitters and receivers. Travel easily through normal walls Fairly inexpensive Transmit data at high speed Increasingly is being used to connect computers to both peripheral and local area network 9/19/12

Infrared

Infrared light is red light that is not commonly visible to the human eye. Use in remote control units used for tvs, vcds etc. Used for short distance radio transmission A transceiver is a device that can transmit and receive signals.

Types of Telecommunications Satellites Characteristics Orbit Number Use

Satellites remain stationary relative to point on earth Few satellites needed for global coverage Transmission delay(approx .25 second) Most expensive to build and launch Longest orbital life 22,300 miles 8 Tv signal

MEO

Satellites move relative to point on 6,434 earth miles Moderate number needed for global coverage Requires medium powered transmission Negligible transmission delay Less expensive to build and launch 9/19/12 Moderate orbit life

Short range Wireless networks

Bluetooth an industry specification used to create small personal area network Ultra-wideband(UWB) A highbandwidth wireless technology with transmission speeds in excess of 100 mbps

Near field communication (NFC) has the smallest range of any short range 9/19/12 wireless network. Designed to be

Medium Range Wireless network

Wifi wireless fidelity a medium range wireless local area network which is basically a wired LAN but without cables: wireless access point, hotspot, wireless network interface card (WNIC) Wireless mesh Networks use multiple WIFI access point to create a wide area network that can be as large as 135 mile network
