Learn about Wireless Technology and Its Applications

A wireless technology is a technology in which cables or wires are not used for communication. Radio and TV broadcasting to Mobile phone and Blue tooth are examples of wireless technologies. Electromagnetic waves have been used in many of these technologies.

Following are the different wireless communication technologies available in the current scenario:

Wi-Fi technology:
This technology only works on high frequency radio signals. WiFi operates on several hundreds feet between two places of data transmission. WiFi is divided in to three parts viz., infrastructure mode, ad hoc network and mixed network.

Radio:
FM and AM Radio is the first to use wireless technology commercially. This brings wireless technology to the common man.

Zigbee technology:
It is a type of low cost, low power and wireless technology which is used for the different purposes at ultra low power.

Television:
Another step ahead with wireless technology is Television broadcast. This brings wireless technology even closer.

Mobile:
Mobile technology such as GSM and CDMA made a revolution in communication. It uses time division, frequency division and code division multiplexing. These are the latest examples of wireless technologies.

Wimax technology:
It is the type of the wireless networking technology that transmits the information in the form of microwaves.

GPS:
Latest and greatest technology which uses wireless is Global positioning system. Radio waves are used for this. By this technology one can know the location of any moving object.

Blue tooth technology:
Other important type of wireless technology is the Blue tooth technology that is used to transmit the data from one device to another device with the help of mobile phone technology.

Infrared technology:
Infrared rays are used to treat cancer in the medical field by transmitting them in to the body of the patient.

The above mentioned technologies are the various types of wireless technologies.
