Wireless Networking

Wireless Network

Wireless Network means that network which has not need any wire for communication or which can transfer data and files wirelessly. In networking terminology, wireless network can be define as to any computer network where there is no requirement of physical wired connection between sender and receiver, but rather the network is connected by radio waves or by  microwaves to maintain communication. Wireless networking  specific equipment are used  such as NICs, APs and routers in place of wiresfor connectivity and which  give same or high speed .

Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Radio frequency

Types Of Wireless Network

WLANS: Wireless Local Area Networks
wireless LANs use radio frequencies that are radiated into the air from an antenna that creates radio waves. These waves can be absorbed,refractedor reflected by walls,water or also by any metal surfaces because of that it resulting in low signal strength.It means it got affected by surrounding environment.WLANS is temporary network can be formed by a small number of users without the need of an access point; given that they do not need access to network resources.


WPANS: Wireless Personal Area Networks
The two current technologies for wireless personal area networks are InfraRed (IR) and Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15). These will allow the connectivity of personal devices within an area of about 30 feet. However, IR requires a direct line of site and the range is less.

WMANS: Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
This technology allows the connection of multiple networks in a metropolitan area such as different buildings in a city, which can be an alternative or backup to laying copper or fiber cabling.

WWANS: Wireless Wide Area Networks
These types of networks can be maintained over large areas, such as cities or countries, via multiple satellite systems or antenna sites looked after by an ISP. These types of systems are referred to as 2G (2nd Generation) systems.

Wi-Fi


Wi-Fi is a wireless networking device thats gives  a wireless network between  computers and other devices to communicate . It describes network components that are based on one of the 802.11 standards developed by the IEEE and adopted by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Examples of Wi-Fi standards, in chronological order, include:

Standard                  Maximum speed                 

802.11a                54Mbps                                   
802.11b                11Mbps
802.11g                54Mbps
802.11n                150Mbps
802.11ac                  800Mbps
