Mobile Computing is a technology that provides an environment that enables users to transmit

data from one device to another device without the use of any physical link or cables.

In other words, you can say that mobile computing allows transmission of data, voice and video
via a computer or any other wireless-enabled device without being connected to a fixed physical
link. In this technology, data transmission is done wirelessly with the help of wireless devices
such as mobiles, laptops etc.

This is only because of Mobile Computing technology that you can access and transmit data
from any remote locations without being present there physically. Mobile computing technology
provides a vast coverage diameter for communication. It is one of the fastest and most reliable
sectors of the computing technology field.

The concept of Mobile Computing can be divided into three parts:

● Mobile Communication
● Mobile Hardware
● Mobile Software

Mobile Communication

Mobile Communication specifies a framework that is responsible for the working of mobile
computing technology.
In this case, mobile communication refers to an infrastructure that ensures seamless and
reliable communication among wireless devices.

This framework ensures the consistency and reliability of communication between wireless
devices. The mobile communication framework consists of communication devices such as
protocols, services, bandwidth, and portals necessary to facilitate and support the stated
services. These devices are responsible for delivering a smooth communication process.
Fixed and Wired: In Fixed and Wired configuration, the devices are fixed at a position, and they
are connected through a physical link to communicate with other devices.

For Example, Desktop Computers.

Fixed and Wireless: In Fixed and Wireless configuration, the devices are fixed at a position,
and they are connected through a wireless link to make communication with other devices.

For Example, Communication Towers, WiFi router

Mobile and Wired: In Mobile and Wired configuration, some devices are wired, and some are
mobile. They all together make communication with other devices.

For Example, Laptops.

Mobile and Wireless: In Mobile and Wireless configuration, the devices can communicate with
each other irrespective of their position. They can also connect to any network without the use
of any wired device.

For Example, WiFi Dongle.

Mobile Hardware

Mobile hardware consists of mobile devices or device components that can be used to receive
or access the service of mobility. Examples of mobile hardware can be smartphones, laptops,
portable PCs, tablet PCs, Personal Digital Assistants, etc.
These devices are inbuilt with a receptor medium that can send and receive signals. These
devices are capable of operating in full-duplex. It means they can send and receive signals at
the same time. They don't have to wait until one device has finished communicating for the
other device to initiate communications.

Mobile Software

Mobile software is a program that runs on mobile hardware. This is designed to deal capably
with the characteristics and requirements of mobile applications. This is the operating system for
the appliance of mobile devices.

In other words, you can say it is the heart of the mobile systems. This is an essential
component that operates the mobile device.

This provides portability to mobile devices, which ensures wireless communication.

Applications of Mobile Computing

Following is a list of some significant fields in which mobile computing is generally applied:

● Web or Internet access.


● Global Position System (GPS).
● Emergency services.
● Entertainment services.
● Educational services.
