WIRELESS NETWORKS IN DAY TODAY LIFE

Abstract

Wireless networking has very important features as it offers firm and user’s flexibility, and portability with in the budget. It allows the users to get access to the network without the physical wired tied between them. It uses high frequency radio waves to communicate between devices. Technology is no longer judged by its technical brilliance, but by the return on investment. Wireless Networks fit into this because the technology has been around long enough and can provide enough benefits to be seriously considered for deployment. Mobility is another feature by wireless. This leads to other provision of wireless, that of scalability. It really helps in extending your network. It also becomes important if an enterprise has a rented office and needs to shift to a new place. Wi-Fi, or wireless fidelity, is freedom: it allows you to connect to the internet from your couch at home, a bed in a hotel room, or a conference room at work without wires. It is a wireless technology like cell phones, Wi-Fi enabled computers send and receive data indoors and outdoors; anywhere within the range of the base station. And the best thing of all, Wi-Fi is fast. In fact, it’s several times faster than the fastest cable modem connection. Wireless networks have seen unprecedented rise in their size and number of users in recent years. This unprecedented rise is attributed to the rise in the number of mobile computing devices. More over the amount of data that is handled by these wireless networks has increased in recent years. This increase in the flow of data over these wireless networks is due to increase in popularity of cloud computing, which is built on the concept of Software as a Service, where in all the data processing happens on the cloud.
