Wireless technology

INTRODUCTION
Wireless is a term used to describe communications in which
electromagnetic waves are used for communication purpose.
Wireless telecommunications is the transfer of information
between two or more points that are not physically connected.
Distances can be short, such as a few meters for television
remote control, or as far as thousands or even millions of
kilometers for deep-space radio communications. It
encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and portable two-
way radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants
(PDAs), and wireless networking. Other examples of wireless
technology include GPS units, Garage door openers or garage
doors, wireless computer mice, keyboards and Headset (audio),
headphones, radio receivers, satellite television, broadcast
television and cordless telephones.
MODES OF COMMUNICATION
Wireless communications can be via:
• radio frequency communication,
• microwave communication, for example long-range line of-
sight via highly directional antennas, or short-range
communication,
• infrared (IR) short-range communication, for example
from consumer IR devices such as remote controls or via
Infrared Data Association (IrDA).
• Applications may involve point-to-point communication,
point-to-multipoint communication, broadcasting, cellular
networks and other wireless networks.
HISTORY
#Photophone
Bell and Tainter's photophone, of 1880.
The world's first wireless telephone conversation occurred in
1880, when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner
Tainter invented and patented the photophone, a telephone that
conducted audio conversations wirelessly over modulated light
beams (which are narrow projections of electromagnetic
waves). In that distant era when utilities did not yet exist to
provide electricity, and lasers had not even been conceived of
in science fiction, there were no practical applications for their
invention, which was highly limited by the availability of both
sunlight and good weather. Similar to free space optical
communication, the photophone also required a clear line of
sight between its transmitter and its receiver. It would be
several decades before the photophone's principles found their
first practical applications in military communications and
HISTORY
# Radio
• Marconi did transmit the first radio signal across the
Atlantic.
• The term "wireless" came into public use to refer to a
radio receiver or transceiver (a dual purpose receiver and
transmitter device), establishing its usage in the field of
wireless telegraphy early on; now the term is used to
describe modern wireless connections such as in cellular
networks and wireless broadband Internet. It is also used
in a general sense to refer to any type of operation that is
implemented without the use of wires, such as "wireless
remote control" or "wireless energy transfer", regardless
of the specific technology (e.g. radio, infrared, ultrasonic)
used. Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun were
awarded the 1909 Nobel Prize for Physics for their
BACKGROUND
Nikola Tesla he is who invented radio and shown
us he is indeed the “Father of Wireless”. Nikola
Tesla is the one who first Conceived the idea
Wireless Power Transmission and demonstrated
“the transmission of electrical energy without
wires" that depends upon electrical conductivity
as early as 1891[2]. In 1893, Tesla demonstrated
the illumination of vacuum bulbs without using
wires for power transmission at the World
Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
WIRED v/s WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Difference between wired and wireless
technology Wireless networking has
predominantly become more popular over the
past few years, with advancements in
technology, wireless speeds are getting closer to
matching those of wired and many homes and
businesses are implementing them into their
network. While wireless certainly offer
flexibility and convenience there are also many
other important factors to consider when using
WIRED v/s WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Wireless networking has predominantly become
more popular over the past few years, with
advancements in technology. While wireless
certainly offer flexibility and convenience there
are also many other important factors to consider
when using them in place of wired networks.
SPEED
• The networking of the wired networks are more faster
as compared to other types of wireless networking
devices because they are able to provide the speed of
more then 1000 Mbps.
INSTALLATION
Wired, ethernet cable must be on each computer to
another computer or a central device. This often causes
complications because of the length of cable required and
necessary arrangements to wire the room neat.
• Wireless, can be configured in 2 ways
 Ad hoc networks

 Infrastructure mode

 Both ad hoc and infrastructure mode needs a Network


adapter called WLAN cards.
RELIABILITY
Due to there being no physical medium, data has to
transfer through the air and must pass through any
surface in its path. This means that signals can get
blocked and deflected and this means your
connection can suffer or even drop. Wired network
fails very rarely and provide good speed and
performance
MOBILITY
In wired technology it cannot provide mobile
network. Difficult to lay down the cables and it
looks very messy when install outside. In wireless
COST
In wired technology we need many expenses to
setup the wired network. Because we need large
money to spread the network of coaxial cables.
As compared to other wired devices it is easy to
setup the wireless networking devices at the very
low and at the reliable cost.
HOW WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY WORKS..

Inside the wireless phone, there is a compact


speaker, a microphone, a keyboard, a display
screen, and a powerful circuit board with
microprocessors that make each phone a
miniature computer.
When connected to a wireless network, this
bundle of technologies allows people to make
phone calls or exchange data with other phones
and computers around the world.
Wireless networks operate on a grid that divides
cities or regions into smaller cells.
HOW WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY WORKS..
 With wireless data services, one can receive faxes,
browse the Internet, sends and receives emails or play
video games, all on the wireless phone.
 Every cell uses a set of radio frequencies or channels to
provide service in its specific area.
 There is a base station consisting of a wireless antenna
and other radio equipment.
 When one turn on wireless phone, it searches for a
signal to confirm that service is available. Then the
phone transmits certain identification numbers, so the
network can verify the customer information—such as
the wireless provider and phone number.
APPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS
TECHNOLOGY
MOBILE PHONES
One of the best-known examples of wireless technology
is the mobile phone, also known as a cellular phone, with
more than 4.6 billion mobile cellular subscriptions
worldwide as of the end of 2010. These wireless phones
use radio waves to enable their users to make phone calls
from many locations worldwide. They can be used within
range of the mobile telephone site used to house the
equipment required to transmit and receive the radio
signals from these instruments.
WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSFER
Wireless energy transfer is a process
whereby electrical energy is transmitted from a
power source to an electrical load that does
not have a built-in power source, without the
use of interconnecting wires.
WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSFER
Wireless Data Communications
Wireless data communications are an essential
component of mobile computing. The various
available technologies differ in local availability,
coverage range and performance, and in some
circumstances, users must be able to employ
multiple connection types and switch between
them. To simplify the experience for the user,
connection manager software can be used, or a
mobile VPN deployed to handle the multiple
connections as a secure, single virtual network.
Cellular data service offers coverage within a
range of 10-15 miles from the nearest cell site.
Speeds have increased as technologies have
evolved, from earlier technologies such as GSM,
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a wireless local area network that
enables portable computing devices to connect
easily to the Internet. . Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)
is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11
communications standard for Wireless Local
Area Networks (WLANs). Wi-Fi Network connect
computers to each other, to the internet and to
the wired network.
