What is Wireless

Chapter 3
Handbook of Research on Mobility and Computing: Evolving Technologies and Ubiquitous Impacts
the term covers communication systems between electronic devices, which do not use cables (traditional cabled systems are called wired ). Generally, the wireless uses radio waves at typically low power, but also infrared radiation or laser.

Abstract
Mobile communication networks have become an integral part of our society, significantly enhancing communication capabilities. Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) extend this capability to any time/anywhere communication, providing connectivity without the need of an underlying infrastructure. The new coming realm of mobile ad hoc networks is first investigated, focusing on research problems related to the design and development of routing protocols, both from a formal and technical point of view. Then link stability in a high mobility environment is examined, and a route discovery mechanism is analyzed, together with a practical implementation of a routing protocol in ad hoc multi-rate environments which privileges link stability instead of traditional speed and minimum distance approaches.

An Overview of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) in the Modern Era
Wireless technology makes it possible to transmit the connection between distant points without having to use wires, such as cordless phones, radios or mobile devices, from a point where there is a traditional internet, an antenna and a transmission radio that sends a high-frequency signal for a given distance, which this broadcast can be opened where anyone accesses, without a password or closed and it is necessary to obtain the access code; thus any communication that exists without a wire or cable is characterized by a wireless connection.

Wireless Computer Labs
Wireless networks currently operate at speeds up to 11 megabits per second in both indoor and outdoor locations. A great convenience for mobile computer users, wireless does have some drawbacks. Because it uses radio waves to transmit data, wireless networking is inherently insecure. Also, the bandwidth within each coverage area is shared between all users on that “cell”.
