WI-FI

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology which is used worldwide. Computers can be connected wirelessly to routers. The routers in turnis then connected to the internet by modem in a WI-FI environment. It uses radio waves to provide internet as well as network connections. It works on the principle of no physical connection between the receiver and the send by using the technology known as Radio Frequency. Currently the mobile phones have also started using the Wi-Fi Technology.
How does Wi-Fi Work
It serves and works on the same way that a wired network will work providing internet facility to computers etc, only different is wires will not be required and therefore it is very easy fast and cheap to setup. As you are aware wired network requires lot of labour intensive effort and are expensive. To be honest there is no such thing as wireless network as usually it is linked to some wired network at some point somewhere.
The wireless networking technology first came into use almost a decade ago and gained popularity and became a rage ever since
In 2003 upgraded version ws introduced which offered higher level of performance ranging from good speed and range
Again in 2009 it was upgraded further. All the Wi-Fi variable use the same amount of radio frequency which is 2.4 Ghz and therefore are also compatible with each other so that one can use various standard in the same network of wireless integration. In an ideal scenario we will want all our devices which are wireless compatible i.e. the access points as well as computers etc use the same same standard technology and from the same vendor which is not always possible
Anyway Wi-Fi has revolutionized the entire workings of computers and mobile phones which before a decade was hard to imagine. Because of the Wi-Fi technology it is possible to work anywhere anytime by most of the individuals.

Wireless Network

Wireless network is a type of computer network which is not connected to any wires or cables. It is a network that can be connected even at homes, and other telecommunication network areas and many enterprise or business areas, where the installation can avoid using the cables into their building there by reducing the cost of using the cables. The mobile devices works on this concept of Wireless network very efficiently. The Internet connection and the mobile devices use the Wireless Network extensively.
A mobile phone is a device through which we can make outgoing calls and can receive incoming calls through a safe wireless network. It is otherwise known as a Cell phone, Cellular phone or a hand phone. The first mobile phone was demonstrated in the year 1973 by Motorola company by Dr. Martin Cooper. The first headset used was weighing about 1 kilogram or 2 1/2 lbs. The first commercially available mobile phone was in the year 1983 and it was called as Dyna TAC 8000x.
Uses of wireless network in mobile phones:

  • The mobile phone helps us to receive and to make calls. The calls are received through a radio link, through the wireless network while we move in any geographic area.
  • It works with the wireless network provided by the mobile network operator. The mobile phone helps you to receive calls from any other mobiles, public telephone networks, or any fixed line phones across the world.
  • In addition to calls the mobile phones will also help in supporting us with a wide range of services like MMS, Net access, Text messaging , Bluetooth, infrared and various other business applications and will also help in photography and gaming.
  • There are mobile phones that give more computing capabilities which are called smart phones. And all these features of mobile phone work with the help of the wireless network which carries the data. One of the important wireless networks used in mobile phone is GSM network. And these wireless networks are administered and implemented by using transmission system called as radio waves. Hence wireless network plays a very important role in our daily life through the mobile phones as well as internet connections too.
