Week 1

Hello Class

During my research this week I learned there are more wireless technologies out there. One that we use all the time is mobile networks 3G/4G. There are many applications accessible to our smart phones that connect to 3G/4G networks. One of the most popular applications used today 3G/4G is Skype. Skype is a video chat that can link through the smart phones network and then communicates through the same network or another type of network then to a device that is also connected to Skype. Mobility is used a lot these days from checking our bank accounts to paying for groceries wireless has made most life tasks more convenient.

One other technology I like to use is Bluetooth this connects to the persons WiFi and then connects to a different device that has Bluetooth also and allows audio to be played through that device. Bluetooth has been around for a while now but is still a sought after technology. Bluetooth is making driving an easier task for drivers because a person can have their hands free but also can talk on their smart phone devices.

Satellite connection is probably one of the most important wireless connection we have today. With satellite our businesses and medical companies use satellite wireless connections from something as simple as keeping track of deliveries where they are to where they are going. The medical companies can keep track of records when they are not in the medical company’s network area. Home nurses use this technology a lot with home healthcare. These are only few example that I found during my research there is an unlimited number examples out there to researched and explored.
