Overview of Wireless Technologies

Overview of Wireless Technologies: "Wireless technologies represent a rapidly emerging area of growth and importance for providing ubiquitous access to the network for all of the campus community. Students, faculty and staff increasingly want un-tethered network access from general-purpose classrooms, meeting rooms, auditoriums, and even the hallways of campus buildings. There is interest in creating mobile computing labs utilizing laptop computers equipped with wireless Ethernet cards. Recently, industry has made significant progress in resolving some constraints to the widespread adoption of wireless technologies. Some of the constraints have included disparate standards, low bandwidth, and high infrastructure and service cost. Wireless technologies can both support the institution mission and provide cost-effective solutions. Wireless is being adopted for many new applications: to connect computers, to allow remote monitoring and data acquisition, to provide access control and security, and to provide a solution for environments where wires may not be the best solution.
What follows is an overview of existing wireless technologies and related issues. "

That's the primer for Wireless Technologies in University of Tennessee. Go on & get some basic stuff cleared out ... I plan to do it ... sigh ... donno if I will manage to do it though :-(
