Home Wireless Network

Executive Summary

Technological advancements in wireless information technologies have positioned the users in the computing environment, which is not, only ubiquitous but also has a lot of information exchange facets to it. This allows people to have easy access to information from one part of the world to another through handheld devices of wireless means like that of Smartphone. Over the years there have been various wireless applications which have emerged to provide an entirely new personalized option and a new experience to the users. A home wireless network is a network where multiple terminals communicate wirelessly. Thanks to wireless networks, a user can stay connected while moving in a geographical area larger or smaller, this is why we sometimes hear about "mobility". Wireless networks are based on a connection using radio waves (radio and infrared) instead of cable. They differ in the transmission frequency used, the speed and range of transmissions. The advent of new technology-based communication networks, wireless networking has brought new expectations for future development communication systems, and new risks. The flexibility and mobility that provide us with the new networks, wireless have made use of these nets and have soared in the past few years being the best way to make data connectivity in buildings without needing wire them together. However, like all the new and evolving technologies, it presents some risks due to initial optimism and the adoption of new technology without observing risks inherent in the use of a transmission medium as 'observable' as are radio waves.

Overview

Among the many technological innovations, the use of wireless technology has immense importance, because this technology is being used by people regardless of their geographic locations, age or economic barrier. Over the year, mobile communication has been bringing out more and more reliable, efficient, and timely wireless communication network. The increasing demand for a more sophisticated and ubiquitous communication system that has led the communications industry to better understand and work upon the principle issues that the theory of communication and electromagnetic have and their implications which is needed, for the design for highly effective and capable wireless systems (Molisch, 2010). There have been sharp, contrasting perspectives which have been offered as a result of technological evolution in terms of the speed and the mechanism that brought about this technological change. When these ideas are considered in the context of wireless communication's development, it is revealed that the said technology has, at several occasions been indicated like a revolutionary change.

Home wireless networks allow computers to connect to a few centimeters to several kilometers. With the installation and the use of a wireless network there arises the problem of regulation of radio-electric transmission. Indeed, the radio-electric transmissions are used for many applications, and are susceptible to interference, that is why regulation is needed in each country to define the frequency ranges and power which can be issued for each category of use (Nichols and Lekkas, 2001). Furthermore the airwaves are difficult to confine in a ...
