Computer Technology: How Wireless Technology Entered the Communication Industry

 

There are definitely so many branches today that relates with computer technology. One of the advancements that we have would be with the wireless communication that's still under computer technology. It actually operates through the procedure where it transfers information without having to use wires. It can also reach for hundreds of kilometers. You can in fact find a lot of wireless communication technology today that are under computer technology.

 

Ever since the introduction of the cellular concept, the communication industry of today then continued to gain growth. Wireless communication technology networks become omnipresent and that surveys says that each year there will be a continuous growth in this kind of industry.

 

Because there is a seen fast increase of cellular subscribers each year, it means that the wireless communications is considered sustainable as a data and voice transport system. Wireless systems of today and its technology now have the presence of voice phone calls as well as the voice and data features.

 

First generation wireless communication systems have entered the market during the year 1980 and has in fact been using analog signals for the communication process. The second generation systems then were introduced after some years and that it uses voice and could transmit data through digital signals. The GSM is considered to be an important standard of 2G. After some years, it was then upgraded to 2.5G that is able to provide better data speeds. There are also various services that you could find today that was then introduced for mobile browsing. Years later, 3G systems then were introduced and has made simultaneous transmissions for both voice and data. Because there was the presence later on of high speed internet, video calling and mobile TV then have been made possible. Upgrades were then made for 3G and that it comes with certain features that is able to give services that are IP based. This signifies that in every device in the future, it is going to have a unique IP address.

 

Another thing is that cellular networks have developed new standards that is able to facilitate high speed data communication. The new technology are actually implemented so that it could make wireless networks in replacing the traditional use of copper wires as well as fiber optic links that is used between fixed points. The wireless communication technology options of today are in fact being used as a substitute for the wired option that are now mostly applied in homes, buildings and offices. WiFi is also the most commonly used wireless LAN technology. Because of computer technology today, it has led to various advancements in the communication industry where it led to the replacement of using the chords for communication.
