Wired and Wireless‚ What’s the Difference? The main difference between a wired and wireless data communication infrastructure is the existence of physical cabling. The same or similar techniques are employed for both types of data communication infrastructure in terms of the core elements of essential network services. The basic difference between a wired and a wireless network is self-explanatory. A wired network uses wires to communicate whereas a wireless network uses radio waves. Another difference

Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that uses wireless (usually‚ but not always radio waves) for network connections. It is a method by which homes‚ telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building‚ or as a connection between various equipment locations.[1] Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place

interest in wireless sensor networks can be promptly understood simply by thinking about what they essentially are: a large number of small sensing self-powered nodes which gather information or detect special events and communicate in a wireless fashion‚ with the end goal of handing their processed data to a base station. Sensing‚ processing and communication are three key elements whose combination in one tiny device gives rise to a vast number of applications [A1]‚ [A2]. Sensor networks provide

Wireless Network Security Partha Dasgupta and Tom Boyd Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Fulton School of Engineering Arizona State University partha@asu.edu‚ tboyd@asu.edu Abstract Wireless networking is inherently insecure. From jamming to eavesdropping‚ from man-inthe middle to spoofing‚ there are a variety of attack methods that can be used against the users of wireless networks. Modern wireless data networks use a variety of cryptographic techniques such as encryption and authentication

Abstract This paper will discuss the Wireless Ethernet product produced by Cisco‚ the Aironet 3500 wireless access point. The Aironet 3500 access points are designed for installation into areas of wireless frequency saturation. They are an ideal solution for businesses‚ hospitals and universities plagued by interference devices such as microwave ovens‚ rogue devices such as phones and digital tablets. Universities can take advantage of the technology by deploying the APs on dorm floors knowing

Wireless Local Area Network Background The first wireless computer communication network ALOHAnet (operational in 1971) was developed by Norman Abramson‚ a professor at the University of Hawaii. At first‚ the wireless LAN was so costly that it was just used as an alternative to the places where the cabling was difficult or impossible. Recent developments included industry specific solutions and proprietary protocols‚ but were replaced by various versions of IEEE 802.11. In 2009‚ 802.11

Advantages of Wireless Networks in a Hospital Jeffrey Rader When healthcare adapted to wireless networks‚ it provided so many efficient ways of promoting a greater care for the patient. Although having some drawbacks with the technology‚ which will be discussed later in this writing. The combination of wireless and healthcare can provide many advances and solve many issues that have plagued the field in the past. Effectiveness of wireless networks allows the nurse and doctor to send a prescription

Abstract The Third-Generation (3G) wireless technologies offer wireless web‚ SMS‚ MMS‚ EDGE‚ WCDMA‚ GPRS etc. 4G is a packet switched technology‚ uses bandwidth much more efficiently‚ allowing each user ’s packets to compete for available bandwidth. It solves the non-standardization problems associated with 3G. Data transfer rate will be 20 to 100 Mbps‚ which is 10 to 50 times than 3G and 10-20 times faster than ADSL. Operating frequency range will be 3 to 10 GHz and the IPv6 protocol will be
