Wireless
It is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves, rather than some form of wire or cable, carry signal between communicating devices. It enables mobile computing, mobile commerce, and pervasive computing. It is the ability to communicate anytime anywhere and provides organizations with strategic advantage by increasing productivity and speed and improving 9/19/12
Terms to define
Mobile computing refers to a real-time, wireless connection between a mobile device and other computing environments, such as internet and intranet. Mobile commerce also mcommerce refers to e-commerce (EC) transactions that are conducted in a wireless environment, especially via the internet. Pervasive computing also called

microwave
Microwave transmission systems are widely used for high- volume, long distance, line-of-sight communication. Line of sight means that transmitter and receiver must be in view of each other Microware transmission are susceptible to environmental 9/19/12 inference during severe weather

Radio Transmission
Uses radio-wave frequencies to send data directly between transmitters and receivers. Travel easily through normal walls Fairly inexpensive Transmit data at high speed Increasingly is being used to connect computers to both peripheral and local area network 9/19/12
Infrared
Infrared light is red light that is not commonly visible to the human eye. Use in remote control units used for tvs, vcds etc. Used for short distance radio transmission A transceiver is a device that can transmit and receive signals.
