Wireless Networking

Paper Summary:

As technology becomes increasingly user-friendly and focused on the consumer, it is evident that users have become more dependent on wireless technological devices as mechanisms that promote convenience, survival and economic prosperity. This study demonstrates the absolute importance of personal and business forms of wireless technology in today's increasingly complex society. Various books, periodicals and research journal articles are used to summarize the history of communications leading up to the arrival of wireless technology and also provide a detailed description of the most commonly used wireless devices in personal and professional living. Furthermore, a list of common terms frequently used in wireless technology is addressed. In addition, personal experiences demonstrate the significance of wireless devices in daily living. Finally, the researcher provides an analysis of the future outlook for wireless technology and its continued significance in all areas of livelihood, particularly in advanced industrial countries. The paper includes tables.

From the Paper:

"Wireless networks provide users with an effective means of communication with a corporate network or a personal user interface in the home that permits access to the Internet through such devices as laptop computers, cellular phones, and personal digital assistants. Following the development of the IEEE 802.11b standard or WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), countless wireless network cards and wireless access points with data rates up to 54 million bits per second have been manufactured and marketed for sale across the globe (Blosser, 2002). In addition, cellular technology has developed 2.5G systems that add digital capability to existing digital systems. Finally, wireless local area networks (WLANs) are one of the fastest growing wireless segments in the industry. The IEEEE 802.11b WLAN connections are very common in home networking technologies and wireless Internet access points (Frenzel, 2002)."
