Why Wireless?
Characteristics
mostly radio transmission, new protocols for data
transmission are needed
Advantages
Ad hoc networks without former planning

Radio
The Radio is type of Wireless Transmission.
Wireless Media that transfer data by carrying
Electromagnetic waves with Low frequencies
to distant locations through an Electrical
conductor and an Antenna.

Satellite
Satellite communication is one of the
Wireless technologies
Widely spread all over the world.
Communicates directly with orbiting
satellite via Radio signals.
Portable satellite phones and Modems
have more powerful Broadcasting abilities
than the cellular Devices.

Infrared (IR)
Infrared is a media transmission system that
transmits data signals through LEDs or Lasers.
Thermographic camera
Is also called infrared camera or thermal
imaging camera.
Device that forms an image usinginfrared
radiation, similar to a
commoncamerathat forms an image
usingvisiblelight.
Infrared countermeasure
designed to protect aircraft frominfrared homing missiles by confusing
the missiles'infraredguidance system so that they will miss their target.
Consumer IR
wide variety of devices employing theinfraredelectromagnetic
spectrumforwireless communications.
Most commonly found intelevisionremote controls
Infrared blasters
Most common use in recording devices such as DVR or VCR to change the
channel on an external tuner.
Bluetooth
Technology
A Bluetooth device uses Radio waves
instead of wires or cables to connect
to a phone or computer.
.Bluetooth is an open specification
for wireless communication and
networking
Personal computers

Wireless USB
Wireless Phones
Many different users communicate
across a single frequency band
through cellular and cordless phones
.
Cellular and cordless phones are two
more examples of devices that make
use of wireless signals.
Some phones make use of signals
from satellites to communicate
similar to global positioning
system(GPS) devices.

Adapters
Wireless adapters are hardware
devices that are installed inside
computers which enables wireless
connectivity.
If a computer does not have a wireless
adapter, it will not be able to connect
to a router in order to access the
internet.
Some computers have wireless adapters
built directly into the motherboard,
while it is also possible to install standalone wireless adapters to add wireless
capability to a computer that does not
have a built-in facility.

Wireless
Repeater
A Wireless repeater is a wireless
networking device that is used to
extend the range of wireless router.
A Repeater receives wireless signals
and amplifies the strength of the
signals, and then re-emits .
The strength of the signal can be
increased by placing a repeater
between the router and the computer
connected to the router.

Cordless Computer
Peripherals
Two types of cordless peripherals
i. Infrared (IR) based on optical principle
ii. radio frequency (RF) based on wave principle.
. IR is cheaper, has less interference. But requires direct optical
contact between peripherals and receiver.

Remote
Control
Remote controlis a component of an electronic device such as
atelevision set,DVD player, or other home appliance, used to
operate the devicewirelesslyfrom a short distance.
Commonly, remote controls areConsumer IRdevices which
send digitally-coded pulses of infrared radiation to control
functions such as power, volume, tuning, temperature set point,
fan speed, or other features.
Remote controls for these devices are usually small wireless
handheld objects with an array of buttons for adjusting various
settings such astelevision channel, track number,
andvolume.

Wireless Printers
There are several printers on market that have WiFi
transceivers built into them.
Network administrators must first comes install the
printer to the network so that other devices connected
to the system can locate the printer.
Once connected, compatible devices can send print
jobs to the printer.
This comes handle for offices or households with lots
of computers.
