Wireless
Wireless is the transfer of information over a distance
without the use of electrical conductors or wires. The
distances involved may be short (a few meters as in
television remote control) or long (thousands or millions
of kilometers for radio
communications).
 History of wireless
The first wireless transmitters went on the air in the early
20th century using radiotelegraphy Later, as modulation,
made it possible to transmit voices and music via wireless,
the medium came to be called "radio." With the advent of
television, fax, data communication, and the effective use
of a larger portion of the spectrum, the term "wireless" has
been resurrected.
 Why Wireless?
Delivers real time information.
Helps in quick and accurate decision making.
Continuous supply of information whenever needed.
 Increases productivity.
Reduces costs via more accurate and timely data capture.
Incorporate professionalism in the working in the
organization.
 Wireless can be divided into:
Fixed wireless

Mobile wireless

Portable wireless

IR wireless

Frequency Ranges for Communications
Media and Devices
 Basis of wireless media
All wireless media rely on various parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum.

Microwave systems transmit high-frequency radio signals

through the atmosphere.

Communication satellites are used for geographically

dispersed organizations.
 Types of wireless networks
Wireless local area networks

Personal area networks

Wide area networks/ Metropolitan Area Network

Mobile Device Networks

 Wireless Technology offers
Flexible business processes

Business processes not limited by time or space

New channel for communicating with client

Source of new products and services

Devices for Wireless Transmission
Paging systems

E-mail handhelds

Cellular telephones

Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)

Smart phones
 Mobile technology
Mobile technology is exactly what the name implies
technology that is portable. Examples of mobile IT devices
include:
Laptop computers
Palmtop computers or personal digital assistants
Mobile phones and 'smart phones' - high-end phones with
more advanced capabilities
Global positioning system (GPS) devices
Wireless debit/credit card payment terminals
Customer Personalization with the
Ubiquitous Internet
Mobile devices can be enabled to use a variety of
communications technologies such as:

Wireless fidelity (WiFi)

Bluetooth
Third generation (3G) and 4G
Global system for mobile communications (GSM)
General packet radio service (GPRS)
Data services dial-up services
Virtual private networks
 Wi-Fi
Three standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g

Infrastructure mode: Devices use access point to

communicate with wired network

Ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer): Wireless devices

communicate directly with each other
 Bluetooth

Can link up to 8 devices in 10-m area

Low power requirements
Bluetooth can effectively provide connectivity between a mobile
device and the following other device types:
Printers
PDAs
Mobile phones
LCD projectors
Wireless LAN devices
Notebooks and desktop PCs.

 Cellular Network Standards and
Generations
Standards:

Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

 Emerging Wireless Technologies
First Generation wireless technology

Second Generation wireless technology

Third Generation wireless technology

Fourth Generation wireless technology

 Cellular Generations
1G: Analog cellular networks for voice communication

2G: Digital wireless networks, primarily for voice

communication; limited data transmission capability

2.5G: Interim step toward 3G in the United States

3G: High-speed; mobile; supports video and other rich

media; always-on transmission for e-mail, Web browsing,
instant messaging
 4G
4G, which is also known as “beyond 3G” or

“fourth-generation” cell phone technology, refers

to the entirely new evolution and a complete
3Greplacement in wireless communications.
Just as data-transmission speeds increased from
2G to 3G, the leap from 3G to 4G again promises
even higher data rates than existed in previous
generations.

REVOLUTION
Mobile phones have become mobile platforms for
delivering digital data, used for recording and
downloading photos, video and music, Internet access,
and transmitting payments

An array of technologies provides high-speed wireless

access to the Internet for PCs and other wireless handheld
devices and cell phones

Businesses increasingly use wireless to cut costs, increase

flexibility, and create new products and services
 Business Value of Wireless
Networking
 Wireless communication helps businesses easily stay in touch with
customers, suppliers, and employees.

 Wireless networking increases worker productivity and output, as

workers take less time to establish contact with people and to access
information.

 Companies can save on wiring offices, moving, and making network

changes by using wireless networks.
