Wireless Networks
We are witnessing a paradigm shift in communication technology and wireless communication is fast becoming the growing trend. Wireless LANs offer an entirely new level of service which cannot be supported by conventional wired communication and thereby extend the usefulness and performance of technology. Wireless networks have considerably influenced our day today life. The new applications of Wireless networks have drastically improved our connectivity from a limited to an ever-expanding world of information. The birth of cellular technology, infrared and spread spectrum radio services have revolutionized our world of communication. The continuous progress in Wireless technology has made the dream of a mobile workforce already a reality.
Wireless networks imply a wide array of technology that offer different services and operate in different ways. Wireless networks use air as the communication medium and eliminate the system tethers and the associated difficulties. Unlike the wired medium of...
The success of wireless networks depends on the ability to transmit and receive waves with minimum interference and high reliability. The operational mechanism of the Wireless networks is much similar to the traditional wired communication. Pulses are generated and broadcasted into the medium using a predefined frequency level. Radio waves, Microwaves and Infrared waves are the three different types of waves used in wireless networks. [Wenig.P. Raymond, 1996,11]
The Transceiver is the most important component in a wireless network. The Transceiver can receive as well as transmit signals and is an integral part of the individual computing systems in the Wireless Network. The transceiver performs the function of converting the data from the computer into a suitable format and the reverse process at the receiving end (converting data back into the format of the computer) In a Wireless network there are basically three different types of…

Though the technology in itself is not new (been used for more than two decades in military radar operations) only recently it has begun to be tested for business communications. Researchers point out UWB is at least 1000 times faster than currently used 802.11b or bluetooth technologies and hence could constitute an excellent alternative choice of protocol for local area networks, increasing their ability to cater to many more
wireless network technology. Mainly, I will discuss the main features of wireless technology, and explain how network technology has become so useful in the present time. In the next section, I will give a brief review of ten articles and show how they are related to the above theme of the essay. Finally, I will explain the impact of wireless technology within the next decade. In the present section, a brief
Free Wireless Networks Since the construction of the information Superhighway, its' use to distribute information has become phenomenal. Information gathering and dissemination is the most valuable asset for a business to succeed. Demands for more and more efficient means of connecting to the Internet have driven exponential technological advances. So much so that the craze to connect has gone wireless and with this technology an entirely new set of issues, concerns
Of these three approaches ad-hoc is considered the most adaptable to roaming users and therefore shows the greatest opportunity to support contextual-based use of wireless networks. The concept of the cellular network on the other hand is much more stationary and focused on a set of base stations that require base controllers and network infrastructure to effectively function. This fixed platform nature of the cellular network approach is juxtaposed
Wireless Technologies Background of the organization including its primary products and services, location, and history How each of the technologies is used Advantages of using each of the technology Ease of signal transmission Degree of security protection Current availability of technology Summary of the main points of the entire paper Wireless technology is nowadays used to solve business problems. In fact, business people use it for competitive advantage purposes over their competitors. HP solutions offer wireless technology that
Wireless Local Area Networks The establishment of home and business networks desirous of upgrading to Wireless Local Area Network- WLAN confront with the problems of choosing from available alternatives. The vendors offer several products for sale that hovers around different wireless standards like 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and Bluetooth. During the year 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers -- IEEE developed the first WLAN standard. They termed it 802.11 in
