Introduction to Wireless Technology
(Wenclewicz)

You just awoke and looked out your window, and to your surprise, your car is covered with 5 inches of snow. You have to leave for work in 40 minutes but you still need to take a shower and get things ready for your day. You do not have the extra time to go outside and warm your car up before you leave, but you have remote start and with just a click of a button, you are able to start your car while you are getting ready. This is just one of the many things that we might take for granted that wireless technology has provided for us in the world today.
Wireless technology is a technology that has changed the world and how it operates. Wireless technology is the ability to communicate between devices without wires. Wireless technology is found in many devices ranging from cell phones, computers, GPS units

    Wireless Signals

    Wireless Signals Michael Rubendall IT/242 February 25th 2013 Benny Lane Wireless Signals Wireless signals are all around us as we walk or drive around the city or town where we live. The four types of wireless technologies that are out there are Wi-Fi, Cellular, Bluetooth, and WiMAX. We will be looking at these types of wireless technologies a little more in depth, where are they most commonly used, and how they differ from one another. The first wireless technology that we will be looking at is the Wi-Fi wireless signal. The Wi-Fi signal is mainly associated with computer networking, the specification used to create a wireless local area network is the IEEE 802.11. One would use this type of wireless technology if you were a business owner opening up a coffee shop and needed a public network. The network would have a wired connection to an internet source, then leading to a wireless router that transmits and receives the data from all of the customer’s devices that want to use the Wi-Fi. This will also connect all of the devices to one another through the network. The next type of wireless technology that we will be looking at is Cellular. This type of wireless technology is most often associated with wireless telephones. The cellular network is connected to cells that will enable a user to move around freely while staying connected to the network. This type of signal is used everywhere you go nowadays and are used by everyone. There are a multitude of devices that use these networks at one time and those include, smart phones, tablets, and some computers can use the cell towers to get a signal to be able to use the internet. The first generation of cellular signals was completely analog, and from there with the growing demand of faster speeds and better connectivity technology brought us 2G, 3G, and the ever popular 4G phones. Bluetooth is the next technology that we will touch on and is very similar to the Wi-Fi and cellular networks but on…

    It Week 8 Wireless Signals

    There are lots of different kinds of wireless technologies on the market in today’s technology world. The four kinds of cordless technologies I would prefer to speak about will be IR or Infrared, satellite signals, microwave signals, as well as radio systems. These kinds of systems transmit data in various ways and strengths. All of these types of systems have their advantages and disadvantages. Infrared is dependent on the utilization of infrared light signals. Infrared light isn't noticeable by the human eye. This kind of signal utilized LEDs and ILDs to transmit signals as well as photodiodes to receive signals. The frequencies which IR can operate are from 100 GHz to 1000 THz. The drawback is that it can't pass through physical objects for example walls and other hurdles.…

    Bluetooth Wireless Technology

    Bluethooth Wireless Technology Bluetooth wireless technology is an open, accepted standard for wireless communication. It was developed by Dr. Sven Mattisson and Dr. Jaap Haartsen at Ericsson Mobile Communications in Lund, Sweden. Initially Bluetooth was to be used as an interface between mobile phones and their accessories. It soon became clear that the uses for this new wireless technology were manifold and Ericsson decided to share their technology, offer free licenses to any company that adopted the new technology, and brought together an ideal group to promote this technology. This association, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, or SIG chose the following as it's Mission Statement: The Bluetooth SIG will support a collaborative environment and drive programs to develop and advance Bluetooth wireless technology in order to exceed personal connectivity expectations and meet the needs of a changing world.…
