Appendix B
Applications of Wireless Technologies
Each of the following images depicts a real-life scenario in which a wireless technology is being used. Review the five images below and follow the corresponding instructions.
Scenario 1
[pic]
1. Identify the wireless technology being used in this scenario.
FSO- Free space optics
2. Explain why this technology is appropriate for this scenario.
FSO involves using a line of sight technology, so I see this being the method used between the two structures.
3. Specify the standard transmission distance and transfer speed for the wireless technology you identified.
1.25 gbps for speed and transmission distance depends on the concept of the line of sight technology.
4. Use the Internet to research one to two applications of the identified wireless technology. List each application found. Reference the websites you used to locate this information. http://www.freespaceoptics.org/ states that this technology has been used for NASA.
Scenario 2

1. Identify the wireless technology being used in this scenario.
The wireless technology listed in the picture is called Bluetooth, which is a technology of a WPAN, or wireless personal area network. It uses a technology known as FHSS or frequency hopping spread spectrum.
2. Explain why this technology is appropriate for this scenario.
This technology is appropriate for this scenario because it used for communication within close proximity of the user, and Bluetooth provides communication between two devices.
3. Specify the standard transmission distance and transfer speed for the wireless technology you identified.
The speed of the Bluetooth technology depends on the version, being speeds of 1mb/s, in access of 3 mb’s/s. The distance can be as great as 100 meters.
4. Use the Internet to research one to two applications of the identified wireless technology. List each application found. Reference the
