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)"

"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."

Abstract
Wireless communications and networks very possibly represent one of the greatest technical innovations of the twentieth century. The effect that this kind of technology is having on the development of Western society at the dawn of the twenty first society is truly fantastic, especially for those who can still remember a time before wireless networks and technology, or at least a time when they were much more a novelty than a way of life. This paper shows how wireless networks quite literally have integrated themselves with many aspects of society from work to play to communications. The paper examines some of the basic history of wireless networks, the simpler-than-it-sounds operation of these networks, and some of the applications that these networks have to offer.

From the Paper
"Wireless communication was developed while wired communication was being expanded. Guilermo Marconi was one of the first to experiment with other ways to communicate besides a wired system. According to the book Marconi used Einstein?s theory of relativity to create a system of wireless telegraphy. The book goes on to say that the early development of wireless communications was the stepping stone for today?s wireless communications networks. (Regli) In the past wireless networks were unreliable and expensive. The old system was often criticized for not being fast enough and not providing users with the benefits associated with the traditional wired systems. However, today there have been many technological advances that have allowed these networks to become more efficient."

"Computer Modeling is the last method mentioned by Shanfelt (2004). The author explains that e-witching and scientific divining is ideal for small environments. (Shanafelt 2004) However, the author asserts that Computer modeling is the most efficient way to implement a WLAN system. (Shanafelt 2004) The article explains that computer modeling requires the creation of virtual representations of buildings within a software package. (Shanafelt 2004) It also uses the model created to identify the best locations for the access points. (Shanafelt 2004) There are various software packages tat can used to create virtual representations. (Shanafelt 2004)"

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.

"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."

Abstract
This paper discusses that, although wireless services represent a progression of technology and perhaps a new era of telecommunications, these services have been used for over a century and remain synonymous with "radio". The paper describes a wireless local area network, a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to or an alternative for a wired LAN within a building or campus. The author states that there are many applications but cautions that they are new and have some difficulties.
From the Paper
"For instance, when a mobile moves from the cell of its current base station to that of a new base station, all of the user's information must be transferred from the old base station to the new one without the user noticing any interruption in service. Such a process is termed a handoff. There are various algorithms, such as dynamic re-routing and pre-established connection trees, through which this can be accomplished. Additionally, mechanisms must be implemented for locating and keeping track of users as they move throughout a system. Many protocols exploit the idea of geographic locality by implementing a hierarchical structure. In this way, base stations only need to keep track of those mobile units beneath them in the hierarchy."

"...Paging is reliable, timely and cheap, but it is limited in the type and amount of information it can send. Wireless LANs remove the need for costly infrastructure and other hassles that come with a fixed LAN but have a limited range. Wireless WANs can cover a much larger area than wireless LANs, but are slower and more expensive. Cellular networks are the most widely used and cover the largest area, but have limitations in security and reliability."

"Since the construction of the Super information highway, 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 and problems have arisen. One movement associated with the wireless phenomena is the free wireless internet access movement, not unlike the original free internet movement, which largely became a victim of cost burdens and an inability to increase technology with growth, the free wireless movement is a demand by individuals and communities to offer a network or global (inside city limits) connectivity system that is free of charge to the wireless user."

"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)."

Abstract
Today it seems like everyone is talking about something called "broadband", its importance, and how it's going to affect and enhance your computing experience. However, it is rarely defined in a simple and straightforward manner. This paper will attempt to provide an explanation in a way that is pertinent to you as an end user-- it will define what is meant by "broadband" and "wireless area network technology", describe what is involved, and differentiate between the most popular broadband technologies.
From the paper:
"Broadband is usually used to refer to a type of Internet connection. Simply speaking, a broadband connection is a connection that allows for extremely high speeds and supports data, voice, and sometimes even video information. It is considered broad because multiple kinds of information can travel across the wire, or band. High speed means that in addition to surfing the web without delays, you will also be able to enjoy multimedia-rich applications such as streaming audio and videoconferencing. Broadband connections are typically always on, so you don't have to spend extra time dialing in to your service provider; as soon as the computer attached to the service is turned on, you can start browsing."

Abstract
A WLAN is best described as an on-premise data communication system that decreases the need for wired connections and enables new applications, bringing new flexibility to networking. Mobile WLAN users are able to access information and network resources as they attend meetings, collaborate with other users, or move from location to location. The paper explains, however, that the benefits of WLANs go beyond user mobility and productivity to enable portable LANs. With WLANs, the network itself can be moved, as well. The future of WLANs is promising, as they have proven their effectiveness in vertical markets and are now experiencing broader applicability in a wide range of corporate settings. This paper discusses the business benefits and applications of WLANs and explains how WLANs differ from other wireless technologies. It also describes the basic technologies of WLANs and how they work together.
From the Paper
"With so many advances in wireless technology, the future of WLANs looks promising (Davies, 2003). Flexibility, rather than just straight mobility is the key to its future success . In the long run, wireless is never going to completely replace fixed wires, because there just isn?t enough spectrum available. Traditionally, WLANs have been used in sectors such as retailing and warehousing for inventory purposes or to provide instant access to large quantities of information. However, its usage has rapidly spread to mainstream business."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"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 line with the name given to the group appointed for supervising its development. However, to our misfortune the 802.11 could support only a maximum bandwidth of 2Mbps - too slow for most applications. Due to these ordinary 802.11 wireless products could not be manufactured further. (802.11 Standards - 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g: Which one is right for You?)"
