WIRELESS DATA

TRANSMISSION
What is Wireless Transmission Media?

Wireless transmission is a form of


unguided media.
It involves no physical link established
between two or more devices while
communicating
Wireless signals are spread over in the
air and are received and interpreted by
appropriate antennas
Types of Wireless Media
Microwave
Satellite
Radio Waves
Bluetooth
Infrared
Microwave
Microwave is a line-of-sight wireless
communication technology
Uses high frequency beams of radio
waves to provide high speed
wireless connections
Can send and receive voice, video, and
information
Microwave cont’d
Widely used for point-to-point
communications
High frequency of microwaves
gives the microwave band a very
large information-carrying capacity
Commonly used in point-to-point
communication systems on the
surface of the Earth, in satellite
communications, and in deep space
radio communications
Satellite
A satellite Internet connection is
an arrangement in which the uplink
(outgoing) and the downlink
(incoming) data are sent from, and
arrive at, a computer through a
satellite.
Satellite cont’d
Each subscriber's hardware
includes a satellite dish antenna
and a transceiver
(transmitter/receiver) that operates
in the microwave portion of the
radio spectrum
In a two-way satellite Internet
connection, the uplink data is
Satellite cont’d
Radio Waves
A radio wave is a type of
electromagnetic signal designed to
carry information through the air
over relatively long distances.
Sometimes radio waves are referred
to as radio frequency (RF) signals.
They provide the means for carrying
Radio Waves cont’d
Radio waves are the primary
means for carrying data over a
wireless network
Radio waves are easy to
generate and are omnidirectional
Have low transmission rates
Broadcast Technology
Broadcasting is the simultaneous
transmission of the same message to
multiple recipients. In networking,
broadcasting occurs when a
transmitted data packet is received
by all network devices
Broadcast Technology
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a radio communication
technology that enables low-power,
short distance wireless networking
between phones, computers, and
other network devices.
Bluetooth support can be found in
a wide range of devices including:
Cell phones, Wireless headsets
(including hands-free car kits),
Wireless keyboards, Printers,
Wireless speakers, Computers
