"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)."

"Wireless services are an excellent example of how just how far technology has come. Wireless networking holds the key to a new era of telecommunications, yet wireless services have been used for well over a century and are still synonymous with "radio" (ATS, 2003). The first sign of wireless technology was seen in the 19th century when Guglielmo Marconi, who is known as "the father of radio?, entered the
world of wireless technology."

From the Paper
"At present there are a range of protocols in use for wireless technology. Perhaps the most common is 802.11b. It is moderately cheap in using equipment 802.11b. The free 2.4 Ghz is the frequency range in which 802.11b wireless communication standard works. But there are many systems like cordless phones and baby monitors which obstruct the wireless traffic. For 802.11b communications, the maximum speed is 11 mbps. The new 802.11g standard is an improved version of 802.11b. Though it uses the same busy 2.4 Ghz shared by other common household wireless devices, 802.11g is competent of transmission speeds up to 54 mbps. The equipment intended for 802.11g communicates with 802.11b equipment, but combination of two standards is not suggested. (Quick Tip: Wireless Networking Protocols)"

From the Paper
"Even though the U.S. military is said to have started the use of wireless internet, it was Hedy Lamarr, a world-class beauty and a 1940s movie actress who was responsible for the origins of wireless Internet. Even though she did not have any technical training, Hedy Lamarr, being a gorgeous lady, was compelled by her husband to attend all his technical meetings held with the German military, which discussed a way to guide torpedoes by radio which could not be jammed. She wanted to join the National Inventors Council, which was set up to encourage Americans to contribute inventions for the coming war activity. It was during this time that the Council wanted actors and actresses to help sell War Bonds and she became a Hollywood actress to kiss any man who bought $50,000 in War Bonds. One day while she was playing four-hand piano with a musical hacker named George Antheil, she stopped and said "That's the answer to the torpedo problem: we are together, but apart. We are synchronized, but independent." She used the words 'frequency hopping' and they led to a patent U.S. Patent #2,292,387, called 'Secret Communications' wherein frequency hopping was done mechanically, by means of a piano roll tape having 88 holes to have control over both the radio on the sub and in the torpedo."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Without the existence of a strong leadership core at the helm of an organization, regardless of its size or industry focus, wireless technology cannot serve as a successful strategy for growth and future development, particularly as it is such a foreign concept to many individuals who may have never had the opportunity to utilize basic technology in their careers in years past. Therefore, it is critical that executive leadership as well as middle management are in agreement regarding the direction that a business takes in relation to technology initiatives. Organizational leaders must recognize that much of their daily business activities depend heavily upon technology, particularly of the wireless form. The most common devices that are utilized in wireless technology include personal digital assistants (PDAs), notebook computers, cellular phones, and Local Area Networks (LANs). As today?s businesses continue to seek out ways to promote growth as well as revenues in a highly competitive environment, a large component of their primary business strategy should be placed in an emphasis on wireless technology strategy."

Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated. The paper also points out that, without an effective way of communicating the Gospel, the targeted audience will never be converted. The paper then discusses the ways in which the Gospel can be communicated and the importance of selecting a method that suits the community that the missionary is in. The paper further describes the ways that media selection play a key role in the presentation of the Gospel and discusses the impact that globalization has had on missionary work.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization is a current trend throughout the world that is having a large impact on missions. Where a missionary used to struggle to find things to relate to, a missionary can now enter remote areas of China and chat with teenage boys about the latest episode of The Simpsons thanks to the television. While globalization has many more negative impacts than positive ones, it seems, there are a few bright spots that can aide a missionary in his attempt to contextualize the Gospel or the media that he'll use to present it. In China, little kids swap Christmas cards without even realizing the meaning behind them; this presents an open door for a missionary to relate the Gospel to the child. Muslims, who are from a very exclusionary culture, are provided with access to pluralistic ideas through the television and the internet that might challenge their thinking enough to open them up to the Gospel ."

Abstract
The history of wireless networking began over fifty years ago, prior to World War II, when it was discovered that radio signals could be used for data transmission by the military. The United States Army developed a radio data transmission technology, which was heavily encrypted. This technology was used throughout the campaign with the U.S. and its allies. The military?s use of wireless networking was so impressive that a group of researchers in 1971 at the University of Hawaii moved to develop the first packet-based radio communications network. This paper explains that the result, which was called ALOHNET, was the first wireless local area network (WLAN). The paper explores wireless networking and the advantages that it provides to its users, while serving as a facilitator that advances technology. The paper also includes diagrams.

From the Paper
"Like cell phones, wireless-equipped laptops within range of a given access point have the ability to communicate with the network. Many systems allow roaming between access points. If a user moves out of range, he will lose the connection. In addition, a single access point can communicate with multiple wireless-equipped laptops, meaning that users share the available bandwidth with other users. If many users are communicating with a single access point, the network connection is likely to slow down."

From the Paper
"Equipping customer service representatives or sales agents with wireless technology can greatly enhance customer service and deepen the relationship with the consumer on the part of the business enterprise. Business researchers have begun to validate the previously informal recognition that wireless equipped sales representatives were more effective in closing sales calls because they have instant access to a customers sales records, sales history, type of product or service, and even future needs based on past inventories. Sales representatives who lack this instant access to such information and data cannot respond to customer inquiries and, in most cases, need to reschedule yet another meeting or, at the least, must follow up still again in order to close the sale or complete the transaction. This process is greatly streamlined when the sales representatives have access to the corporate database and servers remotely or can simply make a call and have the data or information forwarded immediately via email."

Abstract
The paper examines the Wireless-Fidelity (WI-FI) network, a term for a high-frequency wireless local area network. The paper explains its advantages of allowing home and office users to create wireless local networks, which connect two or more computers to each other with a faster Internet line. The paper discusses, however, how these advantages come at a cost, most notably the difficult of preventing unwanted, shared wireless access. The paper explains the difficulties involved in securing wireless networks.
From the Paper
"Wi-Fi networks are challenged by issues related to performance, interference and immature standards. However, security is by far the largest issue for users to consider. In a cabled network environment, a person must obtain physical access to a network outlet to gain access to the network. Access to the wireless network, on the other hand, is available within the operating area of the wireless base station which may be up to several hundred feet. Thus, the possibility of unauthorized access is a serious problem because anyone with a wireless data interface can gain access to the shared network."
