The advent

Guglielmo Marconi invented the


wireless telegraph in 1896

Communications satellites launched in 1960s


The advent

Advances in wireless technology 1970s


 Radio, television, mobile telephone,
communication satellites

More recently
 Satellite communications,
wireless networking, cellular technology
Types of wireless communication

 Radio Transmission
o Easily generated, Omni-directionally
travel long distances,
easily penetrate buildings

Microwave Transmission
o Widely used for long distance
communication
o Gives a high S/N ratio,
relatively inexpensive
Types of wireless communication

Infrared and Millimeter Waves


o Widely used for short-range
communication
o Unable to pass through solid objects

Wireless modem
o It is a modulator-demodulator
which enables communication at
fastest speeds, typically in bits per second
Wireless system: Range Comparisons
Why wireless communication???

Freedom from wires


Global Coverage
Stay Connected
o Roaming allows flexibility to stay connected
anywhere and any time
Flexibility
o Services reach you wherever you go (Mobility).

Basic Mantra
Stay connected –anywhere, anytime
Aplications

 Security systems
 Television remote controls
 Cellular telephones
 Wi-Fi
 Wireless energy transfer
 Computer interface devices
Growth: Technology take-up time to 50M users
User growth
Examples of wireless communication

Wi-fi (wireless fidelity)


o Enables faster connections
o Better range, Better security
o More spatial capacity i.e.
bits per second per square meter
 Bluetooth is an open specification for wireless
communication and networking
o Personal computers
o Mobile phones
o Other wireless devices
Wireless vs Mobile

Wireless does not necessarily


mean mobile

 Wireless Systems may be


o Fixed (e.g., Metropolitan Area Network)
o Portable (e.g., wireless interaction between
TV and VCR)
o Mobile (e.g., mobile phone)
